Right, Derbyshire, listen up.  You are not allowed to snow.  Again.  I don't care what your excuse is.  It's February.  It's supposed to be Spring.  Winter is over.  Buck yourself up, sort yourself out and get on with it.  Yeah?

I write as a hobby. Most of my friends list know that. Don't particularly see myself submitting to publish at any point in the future. I just like writing. However, if I ever do get published, and if I ever do something like this, just take my computer away. I'll refund any airfare costs accrued if you take my keyboard away from me in time to save my reputation. That's a promise.

Also, it just seems to me that blaming your editor for everything that's wrong with your novel and saying that you have no creative control over editing is a little worrying. I've followed several authors' blogs and it seems from an outsider view that it's a give and take process. A conversation pointing out flaws that aren't immediately obvious to the author. After all, you know what you're trying to say, but you may have skipped over something that is the actual explanation for the scene.

The whole thing is worse than Laurell K Hamilton's 'Dear Negative Reader' blog post and she comes off sounding like a complete nutcase. Watch out for the end of it and the Federal Cyber Crime case that's got her collecting all the comments and sending them to the FBI. 'Cause damn, everyone's under the jurisdiction of the good ol' U S of A.

Have a read for yourself, it's a cracker: www.amazon.com/review/R1BA0D6J2GS59/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg1

So I decided to sign up for Yuletide. Crazy, I know, but well... It had to be done.

And with that, here's my secret santa post!

( Dear Secret Yuletide Santa... )

 So, along with the fact that I'm considering doing an adult education course (Open University degree or otherwise) and the fact that I'm currently having a few stresses at work*, I'm considering a vast range of things to do to take my mind off stuff.  Which has led me to a question that I would like you guys to answer if you can.

If I wasn't doing what I'm doing, what job would you consider me most suited for?  Or to put it another way, knowing me as well as you do, what profession do you think I would most enjoy or excel in?

* and in saying that I am the mistress of understatement.

So went into town today and found these...



Of course they had to be bought!!! Suggestions welcomed for what should be used to christen these wonderful little things. Cocktail shots, straight shots, anything...
