What to say after such a long absence...

After washing my roommates dishes (yes I have a procrastination problem) I decided that it didn't need to be earth shattering. And by saying that I can see that I have lost a dozen or so readers, but it is the truth. Life has been progressing, time has walked by, I have gotten older (30 in August). All is fairly well with my world. Recent changes have been moving house, completing my second novel and starting a TAFE course. I have enjoyed each one of these things plus my many other pursuits that have wiled away my hours.

I am currently editing my 2nd novel and hope to send it out to publishers in November. It has been arduous but hopefully it will be fruitful. I have heard so many horror stories about authors who have a foot-tall pile of rejection letters. I want to be one of those annoying people who get a contract on their first attempt. A lady from my Writer's group has recently been offered a contract (the first in our group). Even after receiving many thanks but no thanks letters about my children's novel, I don't think I will truly be prepared for a hundred such letters about my novel. We'll see, so watch this space.

Otherwise, family is well and I'm planning another holiday (to Europe - 2009 if world jumps out of crisis point, or instead 2010).

Thanks for reading.
