The Courtesan's Mistress Chapter 1

0 comments Published Monday, 16 May 2011 by SteveCook in courtesan's mistress prostitute sex chapter book

I've been gone from here for a while; I spent a lot of time drinking, if I'm honest, while I wrote The King's Thief, and in the end I decided to shelve it. It's not like I became an alcoholic or anything, but I got out of the habit of writing it and realised that, actually, it wasn't that good. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some awesome bits that I will definitely use at some point, and I fully intend to go back to TKT at some point in the future.

Since then, I've written some short stories that I'm trying to get published in a magazine, and I've taken part in National Novel Writing Month, way back in November. It seems like so long ago. I wrote a 65k word novel entitled The Courtesan's Mistress, and I've spent the last couple of months editing a paper copy of it. I've started retyping it, and here is the first chapter.

I'll be putting up all my fiction here now; this isn't just about TKT, but is about me growing as a writer, and the title of this blog has changed accordingly. I've given this first chapter to Amy, someone who I consider to be a 'real' author where I'm just playing at it, and although I was quite apprehensive to read her comments, they're good, and technical in a way that I just don't think. I know that the work is better for it though. I'm also indebted to EvilKingGumby from deviantArt, and to my darling wife. Oh yes, I got married since my last post. Strange how these things slip your mind!
