Winter Dormance

Cheered to read Joanne Harris saying that she's often dormant in winter. So long as you come to life in spring and write a best seller...

Flat Solar Battery

Reading Writing Magazine and messing about. Not working at all - and can't see myself changing until the sun turns around. Good job I'm not Scandinavian!

And In Fourth Place...

Narrowly missing a medal, is writing. Poor writing, but there's no help for it. Not being a burning genius I've no intention of destroying my ordinary home life, which gets gold, followed by the day job that underpins everything, which scores silver, and bronze goes to the college work that will take me into a new career and support me in my old age. (I plan to work for Voluntary Service Overseas or similar).

No wonder writing gets squeezed out!

Faint Progress

Of a sort.

• Posted 'So Far Away' to the large print people at Magna. Fingers crossed.
• Finished and posted the filmscript for Debbie - all we need now is a competition and some luck.
• Critiqued a chapter for Jen.
