THE GOOD AND THE BAD

Current Work: Playing catch up but never getting there!
Listening to: My other half being beaten at cards by his son
Reading: Echo Burning by Lee Child (A Jack Reacher novel)

And the - things can only get better. No, I sound very negative, but that feeling has just stayed with me this week. Next week will be better, I promise. This is a writers life and I have to get used to it, the good times and the not so good. I'm a practising optimist, I have to be! Anyway, I've had a little time out this week, so am falling a little behind of target. Sometimes though I think to step away from things is helpful. It can help you see things a little clearer and that has certainly happened for me. I've re-written my synopsis and will be sending off my precious manuscript to the next agent on the list next week. I have to keep trying and those of you who know me, will know how trying I am!
