Saturday

Well, another chapter of Kangaroo Land completed this morning and it's only 9:47am!  Whoopee! Now I've set a deadline of April 30 I have something to work to.  Also decided am taking on too much so have decided to work on Kitchen Town (kids story) after April and send to kids publisher / agents / competitions after April 30 and while I'm submitting KL  in my bid to get a deal, land my book on a bookshelf, get into The Times bestseller list - oh to DREAM!

OK, should have done this before but assignment 6 isn't err, completed so am setting myself monthly deadlines for assignments too.  It's not that I am not writing Ass6 (which will use for Simon Seeks) but KL is taking up tons of time and that is what is important for me. It's my baby!

Thinking of entering it into Cinnamon Press novel competition this year .. need to read up more on what they publish though as unsure a travelogue fits in with their titles. Would they still consider it or toss it into the Competition Bin because the wrong genre?

Powder Room Graffiti article ... that's another for after April 30. 

Bloody hell, how do writers manage writing a book, articles, anything else, with a family (well, cat family for me), full time job (travelling to and from it for 1 and a half hours a day), suffering acute 40+ tiredness (meaning falling a sleep on very comfy sofa by 9pm), looking after a home (OK, The Man did the laundrey, changed the bed, hoovered this weekend) ... AND I have a November wedding to prepare (yes, I will become Mrs. H).

OK, better get changed - sitting here in a pink fluffy dressig gown and mascara stained face - may frighten the postman ...

O, PS, don't forget to subscribe to the NEWSLETTER because there'll be competitions
