Hi Everyone,
My name is Michelle Mackenzie.
I am from Essex in the United Kingdom. I have two daughters and have just found out I am pregnant again just last week.
I am a published author of nine books.
I have been writing novellas for about four years.
I am a participant in NaNoWriMo, and also doing the 100k in 100 days challenge.My preferred genres for both reading and writing are Crime Fiction and Fantasy.
I believe that there is always room for improvement with my writing, and I know that my next book has to be better than my previous books.So, I hope to make lots of friends here!

Welcome to FM. 100k in 100 days? Somehow, I don’t think I’ve heard of that challenge, but what a great way to keep the NaNo habit going — and get a longer novel finished.
Hi Michelle! Welcome to FM!
My goodness – it sounds like you have your hands full. Congratulations on your baby-in-waiting!
Happy writing,
Deb Salisbury

Hi Michelle – great to see another Essexite here on the boards – I grew up in Ramsden Bellhouse, a little (formerly Quaker) village between Billericay / Mayflower and Wickford. It was all open fields back then, sadly all built over now with some very questionable architecture
I went to school in Chelmsford, and I still come back on occasion to visit friends and relatives in the homeland.You sound like you have a great writing thing going on – looking forward to getting to know you and reading your work.
All the best,
Paul
xxxxThanks for the welcome everyone.
I’m not really juggling all that much, im just writing after all the kids have gone to bed.
Though, i recently (today) have lost 15,000 words of my novel. I am soooo upset about it.
I hadnt backed up my work onto dropbox, so when i cleaned my netbook memory, it was completely gone. So now, I have two books to rewrite. Lol.
As for my pregnancy- it’s horrible. My morning sickness has officially started and i can’t keep much down in the mornings. I have to wait til the afternoon to eat loads, and then back to morning sickness in the evening.
I’m hoping to post some of my work on here; as soon as I have began to re-write some of it. Lol.
Hope you all had a great christmas, and a brilliant new year.How awful to lose so many words! I hope you feel the rewrite far outshines the original.
Happy writing,
Deb Salisbury
