HOW did it become July the ninth?
What happened to June? And last week?
I have SO much work to do on this current WIP it is silly. I am going to have to write like the wind for the rest of the evening to make sense of this chapter/final scene.
THEN Tomorrow morning at silly o’clock I have the long drive up to Penrith for the RNA Conference.
SHINY THINGS TO LOOK FOWARD TO?
*Meeting friends and fellow writers who I only chat to in the virtual world. And hopefully making new friends.
*Not wearing writers’ grunge.
*Talking to other people face to face about writing = and those people understand!! Totally kewl.
*Being part of the community of romance fiction authors. Last year at this time I was unpublished, without a contract and struggling. Now I have one book on the shelves, another at the printers, and a contract for two more, one of which is almost there. I am truly amazed at the difference 12 months can make – but one thing is certain. The welcome and the support is EXACTLY the same for all authors. Published or not. We are all on the same journey.
* Writing is a solitary business. Caves can be gloomy. It can be nice to come blinking into the light now and then.
SO. Back to work. And updates on Monday. DV.
So sorry I can’t make the conference this year, but looking forward to your brilliant report all about it.
Have a fab time.

Blimey, Nina – that’s a really long drive. (That was the main reason I bowed out, this year – takes me an hour just to get out of Norfolk, and Penrith is a 7-hour trek.)
Have a FAB time at the conf and I’ll be raising a glass to you from here. Look forward to hearing all about it!
