It's flipping freezing-again!

Day Four of the Advent Calendar. Enjoy!

I have a "Spotlight Spot" up on Jessewave's Blog and she asks me lots of unusual questions.

I've just heard from the Running Press editor of Transgressions - and the copy edits will be with me next week.  I need to get them back as hard copies, which is a problem - so I've just ordered a scanner. This is a desk problem now, the desk I have simply doesn't have the space. I have the screen and a printer on the deskspace -  However there is a space next to the desk on my right about 3'x3' - so I could possibly stick a small table there and put the flatbed on that...  I do need a scanner, and it can double as a photocopier too, so it's an expense I'll have to bear.  I'll really have to ask someone how tax concessions work, because I have NO clue and I'm sure I can get some money back for promotion and hardware? *feels incredibly dim*

It's bloody freezing again, blowing a gale and raining. Really unpleasant and I need to go to the library. I can't even be bothered to get out from under this knee blanket. The cats are all snuggled up warm, and yes, we still have a Lucius! It's a miracle!  He's been scoffing artery clogging fat making stuff such as cream and butter and he's put on all the weight he lost through being ill. If I could get him to put a bit more weight on, I'd be happy, but I'm afraid that he's probably always going to be like his namesake, tall and willowy.

Right. off to stare at the WIP.

Except you can be both employed and self-employed at the same time (I am)?! You'd probably need to do a self-assessment return then, if you don't already, but you can claim all your marketing etc expenses against your royalty income and hopefully NOT pay too much more tax.

Obviously I don't know your personal circumstances, but you're welcome to email me if you have any queries, I'm an accountant and do a batch of UK tax returns each year.
*remembering she has her own to do*

I'm unemployed, so I'd need to sign off first, which - as I'm not actually earning anything writing wise as yet, that would be suicide!But I'll certainly take you up on the question asking when I get to that complicated stage, thank you!
