Welcome… I’m New Here! Hi there

[Jaye L Swift]

Hi there, my name is Jaye and I live on the South Wales coast not far from Cardiff, it really is a beautiful part of the world.

I like to read most things but am not a big fan of crime drama. I’m mostly interested in reading period drama, especially based during both world wars, but I also love a good horror.

I have been a screenwriter and playwright for just over a decade, and have now turned my hand to writing prose; I am currently on the second chapter of my first novel.

The thing that I am struggling with the most is POV and past tense. Scripts are written in the present tense and every character has their own point of view, but I am getting there, slowly.

I love walking, swimming and photography.

Welcome, Jaye. I'm writing dark urban fantasy and a bit of horror and the occasional supernatural crime - probably all on the opposite spectrum to what you like! Never mind, the writing craft and help from a few friends at Litopia is good for all of us.

Hello sweetie,

Welcome to the colony (which sounds suitably creepy, but won’t bother a horror fan like you, lol).

Have a good pootle around the site and feel free to ask us anything you like. Hope to see you in the chat room for the Pop-up Submissions on Sunday afternoon.

XXXXX VH (Bev)

Welcome Jaye, I hail from Llanelli lived 5 yrs in Cardiff. Scripts and screenplays - a real pro! At least you know you can write! IMHO the way to get to grips with the POV and tense is to find a book that you love in your chosen genre, and study it. Then another...
