A notepad, a pen, a bit of free time, and imagination. It doesn't matter if the scrawl makes no sense, if the writing suddenly goes off on a tangent because a random thought has popped into my head and if I don't write it down, I'll forget it. Finishing the book is where the hard work REALLY begins. Editing? Sure, I can do that. Three drafts later, it's out to literary agents and the rejections start coming in (however, I did get some nice feedback!) Turns out,...]]></description><link>https://www.gracesharon.co.uk/post/things-i-wish-i-knew</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ff94d6ecab90113754b936</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 20:49:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_a90389a12591466c81dbd4595c788bb9~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Grace Sharon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming Soon]]></title><description><![CDATA[Subscribe to receive blog notifications.]]></description><link>https://www.gracesharon.co.uk/post/coming-soon</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e28b556df221f3f2cd6d9a</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Apr 2026 19:42:02 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Grace Sharon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Evolution of Horizon Skies!]]></title><description><![CDATA[Honestly, I can't believe it's been fourteen years since I put pen to paper, and started on the story that eventually became Horizon Skies. Years during which I not only went through a lot of life changes, but my novel also metamorphosed from a messy, directionless fantasy into a manuscript that hopefully, resembles something a bit more polished. In those years, other than writing, I moved house three times, changed jobs five times including relocating out of London, worked full time, and...]]></description><link>https://www.gracesharon.co.uk/post/the-evolution-of-horizon-skies</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e287cbc4c584cedb0867ff</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 May 2022 09:30:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/47cfb6_631a875ce50543c5a188c3c990f23bb6~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Grace Sharon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's In a Name?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Quite a lot it turns out, especially where the name concerned is the book title.  When my story first took shape in my imagination many moons ago, the title of Red Sky Dawn was always there and at the time it seemed to fit very nicely with the story arc I had in mind.  Over the years, however, as I started, stopped and started again the basic plot remained the same but so many elements changed that as time wore on, Red Sky Dawn began to feel rather hackneyed. I guess, as I've grown older and...]]></description><link>https://www.gracesharon.co.uk/post/what-s-in-a-name</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e287a943fd38a1bb6ff964</guid><category><![CDATA[Writing]]></category><category><![CDATA[Books]]></category><category><![CDATA[Publishing]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Dec 2015 09:39:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b19fa9bc92384e8193bd076f97fb255c.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Grace Sharon</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
