How Times Flies (as usual)

Another few weeks have flown past in the blink of an eye.

The Angel revisions are going slowly – very slowly – as the back is still playing up and it’s hard to be creative through the pain.

Yesterday, I had a wonderful lunch with some writing buddies, celebrating birthdays past (including mine) and Christmas to come. Hours passed in seconds, with lots of gasbagging, food, laughs and presents.

Today I had some down time, watching episodes of the USA sitcom “Pushing Daisies” which is a fabulous romantic dark comedy.

I also did some chores including wrapping Christmas presents for the tree going up tomorrow. It’s bad luck to put up the tree before the 1st December, so I won’t go against tradition.

And Lord, it’s only less than four weeks to Christmas. Where did the year go? And what happened to all those things I wanted to get done?

Oh well, there’s always next year – which will be here before we know it.

If I’m quiet in the next few weeks, it’s because I want to get a certain Angel polished and off to the New York publisher who requested it.

Bye for now.

Plugging Away

Hi Everyone,

Well, I did it. The revisions on “The Tycoon” were finished this week and the manuscript sent off to New York.

Now the waiting game…

In the meantime, I have lots to do. Need to get back into revisions for “An Angel’s Embrace” and prepare for Christmas – FIVE weeks away. I am SO not ready for it. Bah Humbug.

Today was a productive day spent with the wonderful ladies at the Melbourne Romance Writers Guild (MRWG). Lots of chatter, laughter and chocolate. Great motivation to get back to writing tomorrow.

But tonight I rest…what a busy weekend.

That’s all for now.

A Quick Update

Hi All,

Just a quick note to update you on news.

Getting back to life after my back and leg played up, meaning two weeks in bed resting. The only good thing about that was I had hours to finish revisions on “The Tycoon’s Toughest Adversary.”

And it’s finished. Doing a final read-through and the manuscript will be mailed next week.

Still taking things easy as the back slowly gets better. Returned to work yesterday and it’s been tiring but what can you do? The bills still need to be paid, etc.

Anyway, next on the cards are the revisions on “An Angel’s Embrace.”

Will post photos of my birthday celebrations when I can, including the wonderful surprise party given by Josie, Serena and Margaret on Tuesday. A fabulous day spent with some truly beautiful and special friends.

That’s it for now.
