Well... I say 'enjoying' but I need to cram some work into the next two hours before the bedlam begins once again, so I'm about to press my schnozz against the grindstone. I'd like to tell you I write this blog for the love of it, but I'm afraid it's sheer procrastination today.
I'm starting to worry that 'One Reader Reading' is becoming a misnomer. I still haven't finished my first book! So much for highbrow literary debate as I speed through one mighty tome after another, with incisive analysis and reviews. Halfway through a Jilly Cooper, that's me. Hmmm. Mind you, it's not as if I haven't done ANY reading. Yesterday, I read three books to my youngest - two crappy old things from the charity shop and the last bit of Shannon the Ocean Fairy, which Father Christmas was kind enough to pop in her stocking. And I also read aloud a new children's book I've written (known as BTS2 first draft) to my eldest for her consideration. (She takes it all very seriously, suggesting alternative adverbs and cutting dialogue etc. An editor in the making, that one.) It's gone off to my real editor now so let's hope she likes it too.
Now... I hear the grindstone calling... off I go!
