Woo Hoo! Another Brownie Point for www.writely.com!

You can post to Livejournal on it! Yay! Yes, I know I can do that via email too, but the formatting is impossible to cope with.

Nothing much new with me, RL proving icky, mother has pleurisy, so I have to take her for an x-ray in the morning.

Standish: I heard from the publishers and we are on the downward slope now - the outside editors have now been dispensed with and final decisions will be made by the publisher (in conjunction with me, I hope, don't want her unilaterally to decide that Ambrose must STRIDE about Scratching Himself and roaring at his sisters - I'm guessing that's not allowed....?)

Also got to invent the dedication page, acknowledgements, back cover blurb and a Bio (death to all Bios) which is all very exciting. They say "there's a lot to do, but it will move quickly from now on"

So I still don't know how long it will be, but I'm hoping publication before Christmas! Yay! Buy a copy for your granny for her stocking, you know it'll do her good! I have work colleagues who want to buy it. This Worries Me. a LOT. *checks contract* does "Bringing the firm into disrepute" consist of a sacking offence? Hmmm. Yes. it appears it does. eek!

I'm sure there's more stuff to relate but as my brain feels like porridge right now, I can't think of a single thing to relate.

Standish before Christmas?! YAY! Try and time it for around the time when I have the baby, because I will SO need something good to read :D I just did another Amazon search to see if we could buy A Strong and Sudden Thaw yet, but it's not there. Sucky UK Amazon.

I have porridge brain too. I didn't get a rest AGAIN today. *smites stupid busy work and motherhood*

It would SUCK if it comes out after Xmas after all this time, so I really hope that it is before. I'm poised and ready!

You will need to get organised hun, you are going to NEED to get a rest daily, I worry about you.

Going to rest right now (well, going to watch Lost anyway :D). I'll be OK. I'm just trying very hard to convince the bossman that I can still do my job and have a baby so he doesn't fire me, but it's hard work. Oh well. YAY STANDISH! I'll get my dark glasses ready.
