Second day in the half term and Frodo is already chewing the walls.

Luckily, I’d found out about a local activities centre and booked him in on it a few weeks ago. It was a tester – as Frodo has significant communication and social delays. He might have hated it. They might have not been able to cope with him.

But picking him up at 4 o’clock, he starts crying because he doesn’t want to go home, LOL. He was fortunate in the fact that they had extra staff from their head office so one of them spent a good deal of the day helping him. They said the local staff had helped with him too. They all said he had a really good day.

So looks like he’s heading back there again in April. I’ve told him that’s his present for Samwise’s birthday.

Today has been a good day. *grin*

There is a real possibility this week that I could have edits and a cover for Buying Mackenzie’s Baby.

You’ll probably hear the insane shrieking long before the blog is updated *grin*

ARGHGHGGGGGGGGHGHGHGHGH!

The hack slay fest is done. And the following 17 pages aren’t as bad as the first 10. *grin* I think I need to go back over the first bit again and take out even more.

Then I have to change it for the target publisher and write the end.

Hack Slaying is so much easier *sigh*

Taking a break from Heiress, I attacked 10 pages of 7%…. and took out almost 1000 words LOL I’d info dumped all over the place. And it sagged. God, my writing’s improved over the last year!

Heiress has taken a odd turn. Well, what was vaguely implied has just jumped to the foreground and is ready to slap you about the face with a big wet fish. *grin*

Whether it will fit the target line, I don’t know. But it has to be there.

Ho hum.

Just read through this novella. Yup. Major rewrite, LOL

…now has its own link… here

And I’m not the bottom of the page any more. Yay

Printing out the contract for Nimue’s Price and tomorrow morning.. well, this morning… it will be in the post.

Posted the first extract in the Samhain Cafe Yahoo Group… hmm… now having doubts about whether I could have put up a different piece. It’s hard because Nimue’s Price is only a novella. I only have 16000 words to play with. Well less than that. Extracts are usually from the first half of the story, I think.

It is about Sex and WMDs – but it’s hard to illustrate that without giving the whole story away, LOL

Getting Nimue finished and subbed and accepted *still grinning*, has pushed me into finally finishing 7% – an extreme time travel novella. I’m almost at 13000 – and have been for a while now, LOL

It needs a bit of reworking, the ending – which will change slightly – and that’s about it.

It’s the distraction I need from writing Heiress, LOL

Just saw the date. Samwise is 22 months old today *grin*
