Scribbling...

Listening to: Vanilla - British India

Here I am at long last. There's a lot of reasons why I haven't blogged. I'm sure you're familiar with them all: working the second job (you know the one, the one that pays the bills), moving house (yes again!) studying Arabic at IML - UQ and passing my first exam - YAY! business trips for the first job - cons, retreats, meetings :-) as you can see time has been an issue - or lack of for writing, communicating both physically and in cyberspace, updating blogs...

Finally, I get some pockets of time, mostly on the train while travelling to that second job. I make the most of that time by writing like a mad woman with pen in hand scribbling across page after page and if I find another pocket of time I can be found in my downsized office space, amongst the still to be unpacked boxes typing up my indecipherable yet precious words.

I've managed some how to write two short stories, one of which is my first ever vampire story! It was an exciting exploration of a genre I love to read but never been game to write.

If you are finding time to read this then it would be great if you can find time to drop me a line and tell me about your writing progress...blogging is such a great way to stay connected. Note to self: blog more often.

Now...I must go and find my plot outline for the new novel...it's here amongst the books and piles of useless paper with scribbled notes and ideas...I just have to find it!!

Until next time - Ma'Salaama...
