This is not a good combination. Still waiting on my edit and for Sophie to read my mss, watching others leapfrog me. Console myself with the thought that there is some greater purpose at work, but I’m buggered if I know what it could be. Yep, one of those bitter and twisted kind of days.
On the upside I’m looking forward to teaching creative writing on the weekend. There are only a few spots left so hurry if you’d like to spend a fun morning writing and learning a few tricks of the trade.

SELF DOUBT AND GRAND DELUSIONS
Is it only writers who can swing from thinking everything they’re writing is crap to then having grand daydreams of international best selling success that makes JK Rowling look poor? Luckily I’ve read somewhere that both the doubts and delusions are a neccessary part of the writing life. A wonderfully affirming writers’ meeting this morning with Marion and Erica helped restore equilibrium. Join a writers’ group people, one that supports and critiques – it’s the best way to grow your writing, and stay sane in this business of nerve wracking waiting, lows of rejections and highs of success.
