Well, actually I don’t mind it every now and then. But a good cup of tea is the way to go, for me.
You have to make it right though, ‘as it comes’ is definitely not an option!
I like mine milky, but not anaemic, dark enough to tell its tea but if you’ve hit the colour of David Dickinson’s tan, you’ve gone too far.
It’s been a while since I wrote an update…mostly because I spent the summer working on the same sentence. (Don’t worry, it will be a kick arse sentence when its done!).
The kids are back at school. I now only have ‘the wakey one’ home in the day, whom I’ve decided to rename ‘the bitey one’ after a number of incidents leaving me resembling Jasper from the Twilight books.
So I’m ready and raring to go.
I’ve begun clearing out old notes for my novel. It’s taken on so many changes over the years, I’ve literally got pages and pages of stuff that’s no longer relevant. I’ve also just changed from Writeway Pro to Scrivener so I want to get everything organised before I begin transferring.
I’m in the process of converting a sci-fi short story into a radio play. I think the format will serve the idea well and will get it across better.
I’m doing the ‘Writing 101’ course with Blogging University. They give you prompts each day to get you writing. I’m two weeks in, incredibly behind, but enjoying every minute of it.
Whenever I do anything like this I’m always taken aback by the sheer amount of talent on here. So many great writers, phenomenal sites and wonderful posts that either lift you up or make you think…or make me hungry and dream of cake.
And finally, I have signed up for NaNoWriMo. I’m both excited and scared about this. As many of you know, I’m not the best when it comes to focus. So I thought I’d change it up this year and try something different…lets be honest, it can’t get any worse, I’ve already been working on my book for the past six/seven years.
Anyways, that’s what I’ve been up to.
So, how are you?
Sounds like you have been incredibly busy, The school holidays are always hectic! Well done to you for signing up to NaNoWriMo. Good luck š

Jasper from Twilight. That’s hilarious (also, quick technical note, check your spelling on Twilight). š My niece was the “bitey one” for a while…that is the WORST habit ever. (Okay, there are a few worse ones, I suppose.) I’ll be joining you in NaNo!
Enjoy your tea and cake!
