Welcome to wendyleslie‘s blog. This year has been a revelation for this writer – with a Romance Writers Conference and a first novel under her belt, many new and enthusiastic friends, fresh ideas and a nerve wracking few months ahead awaiting “The Call.”
As a Medical Scientist, the switch to creative writing has been as dramatic as the change from technically inspired passive voice to the active dynamism of real life characters with Goals, Motivation and loads of Conflict.
The unstinting help and genuine advice given both in person and online by my fellow devotees to this writing genre has been phenomenal. My aim for this blog is to progressively add information that has been helpful to me and to encourage others to join in the fun and write.

It’s been a week and with baby steps, I’ve added more information to my Dashboard and am enjoying the discovery process. I find deletion of mistakes, whilst a good learning process, most difficult when remnants remain and refuse to go away. Never mind, my heroines find a way and I will too.
Speaking of heroines, my second lady is currently helping me put her story – just as she wants it, on the page. It could be construed as interference but I like the feel of a team effort. As long as the Hero stays where he is designated, all will be well.
I’ve spent the last week getting used to the stream of Twitter notifications arriving in my email inbox. For those who are ‘following me’ at the moment, stick with me. I’m reading them all with great interest and following links to everyone’s blog or website.

Hi Wendy,
You have a lovely website which I have enjoyed reading. Good luck with your writing. You have a beautiful voice on your site and I look forward to reading your novels
Ooh paradise looks good. Thought I’d drop by after seeing a reference to your website arrive on my blog. How lovely. Maybe we’ll meet on the Gold Coast in August and swap paradise stories.
That sounds like a great idea, Jenn. After the excitement of ‘From here to Eternity’ in August, ‘Diamonds are Forever’ can’t come soon enough.
See you there.
Hi Wendy,
I love your photo you put up, your new phone and camera were are great choice.
We live in such a beautiful place…………….don’t we!
I enjoyed having the 5 hour lunch with you at the Art Gallery on wed, we must do it more often, love your company!
Good luck with your new “book” I wish you every success.
Thank you, Maryanne for sharing the time and catching up on friends and loved ones.
It seemed like five minutes, didn’t it?
Wendy
