I am thoroughly ashamed of myself. I remember a time when I blogged daily – Okay, so I was a little addicted, but nothing that a bit of electric shock therapy didn’t sort out. But now I think they should pull out the plugs, as I'm not blogging at all!
Although, I do have an excuse. My novel is almost edited! And the first three chapters are ready to go! In fact, I was almost tempted to send them out there, whilst editing the rest. But reined myself in, resisting the temptation. But it won’t be long now! YIKES!
Oh, and I’m a bit over-excited today. I’ve just received the Spring Edition of That’s Life Fast Fiction Australia, and my story’s in there – woo hoo! And what’s makes this even more special is I’m sharing the pages with some fantastic writers: including Karen Clarke, Sally Quilford, Womag and Teresa Ashby. Looking forward to a nice cup of hot chocolate later, when I'll be reading the magazine from cover to cover.

Well done :) TFx
Well done you, both on your story being published and your editing.
Brilliant news all round.
Brilliant to hear Amanda and big congrats on the story in TLFFA. See, I think the blogging gets in the way of writing... and you're proof of that...
Does that mean I have to blog less?
Aw, thanks All xx
Hey JJ - Blogging is a great! I wouldn't have got this far without blogging - it's great writing practice and you get to meet such fab people! It's just I'm getting a bit lazy methinks!
Well done, you! See? I didn't have to nag at all. ;o)
Well done on the 'almost finished' edits.
Congrats on the story.
I've been a slack blogger, too.

Thanks, Shirley - your early nagging kept me in line! And your suggestion to carry my characters around with me really helped too! Except now I'm quite crazy - Oh what the heck - writers are aren't they? :-)
Thanks Pat! I remember (about 18 months ago!!!) when we followed each other round blogland introducing ourselves hee hee!

You're in good company! Enjoy and I hope you get many more published. xo
