bouncy I discovered Gmail 2 and Firefox 3 and they are brilliant. It has a Livejournal interface, you can change the skin, and the attachment icons are the pictures of the type of attachment. SO much better. Plus there's a "take a break button" which cuts you off from the net for 15 minutes - something this procrastinator badly needed.

After Elton turned my article down on gay historical fiction - said the tone didn't suit the site. Anyone know of another publication I could send it to?

Thank you all for your suggestions for a tag line for "The Macaronis" - the overwhelming vote came in with "The Macaronis - Historical Fiction out of the closet" which was suggested by

OK. Writing now. *determined face*
