PS
The Perfect Stranger was lovely. Funny ("it floats" snort. not explaining, go buy it). Warm. Romantic. Go Anne. And Captives of the Night was good too. And so far, two thumbs up to Kushiel's Scion. Okay, back to torturing my little finger.
The road goes on and on
Or at least, the book does. So far this week, I've done 40 odd pages and edited still more. And I've got about forty pages to go I think. But it feels like more. Three big scenes. Books for me finish in one of two ways. Either it all pours out in a made burst (and...
Not bad
Ended up with 12 pages yesterday, another 12 today. Plus assignments done. I'm officially 2/3 of the way through if it turns out as long as my books usually are. Not sure it will though. Still it's nice to be heading downhill with a reasonable idea of the rest of the...
And now we add rain
It continues to be C.O.L.D here in Melbourne. This afternoon, for variety, we added rain. It's meant to be warmer when it rains. Something about lower clouds holding the heat in (so sue me, I'm not a meterologist). I guess that theory doesn't work when there was no...
The hard part
First a note to Winter. Over it already. Start raining and warm up. Seriously. I'm not a 4 degrees, time to rise and shine kind of gal. I'm a 4 degrees, must hibernate under the doona kind. So it's been a fun week. I've mostly finished revising the book and now have...
oh what a beautiful morning
Sorry for the Oklahoma, I saw Hugh last night in X3. Good stuff. And Chris and Robbie are coming to town....mmmmm. To steal an exercise from Barbara Samuel.... Today in Melbourne it's a beautiful, crisp, sunny winter morning. The sky is a brilliant blue that would...
I’m back
Well, mostly back. My stomach still seems to be on NZ time. I keep getting hungry two hours before meals. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back to normal. We had a fab time at Kara. Once we got there. Two of the girls had a bit of a flight cancellation drama so, instead of...
The morning report
For some reason I have the Lion King in my head this morning. Hakuna Matata and all that. Who knows why? Anyway, I am back from taking the grey cat to the vet for yet more siphoning of the liquid gold in her veins so we can see how her various exotic diseases are...
A good weekend
Take one copy of Madam Mirabou's School of Love (great book, beautiful cover, Barbara Samuel rocks). Add a second dose of Temaraire and the dishy Captain Will in Throne of Jade (Naomi Novik rocks). Season with a crit session, including the consumption of far too much...
Brrrr
Melbourne has decided that winter is here. It's FREEZING. Good weather for snuggling up with Spooks DVDs (Mr Darcy is a SPY!), good books and a blanket. Unfortunately, I ran around most of the weekend instead. The 40th wedding anniversary went very well, good food,...
