Woohoo @raine! Great successes, congratulations 😃

Excellent! I am so chuffed for you. Well done.

Lovely news, Raine. Good for you.

That’s great, Raine. I, too, remember that amazing Now and Then story, particularly the sense of setting and history. Good for you.

Thank-you everyone. 🙂 🙂
@Daedalus, it’s due out in Feb, apparently. Quite a quick turn around!

That is fantastic news, Raine. Not that I’m at all surprised. Thank you for sharing!

Thank-you @thea. 🙂 Those comps produce some amazing stuff!

UNTITLED (437 words)

I don’t know where I am.
No, really, I don’t.
You’ll think I’m kidding when I tell you about this later and we’ll probably have a good laugh about it, but don’t be surprised if it takes more than one bottle of wine for me to get over today’s little episode. This whole thing at Moira’s Mystical Meditation is freaking me out…[Read more]

Thanks @philippaeast, there’s some good stuff in there isn’t there? Considering printing out a copy for when I start to query (a while away yet)

I so agree that it’s useful to drill down into the actual function of a particular behaviour (e.g. scrolling on Twitter, ironing socks etc.)

It MAY be avoidant procrastination (i.e. continuously putting off something we’re for some reason afraid to face). Or that same behaviour could be a much-needed and healthy break from the keyboard / page -…[Read more]
