In other news, I’ve almost finished moving out of the old house, but it’s taking a whole lot more time than I need or want right now. For the last two weeks I’ve basically worked every day at the joint (I’m sure the junk has been busily breeding away when I wasn’t watching it) and I’m basically a mass of bruises (falling down stairs while carrying boxes is never a good idea. lol). Which means that writing has slipped by the wayside thanks to the fact I’m totally stuffed by the time I make it home each night. Of course, deadlines are deadlines, and I now have to write 8 pages a day for the next two months to get the book finished and corrected on time. Easy (NOT!). At least I have nearly a 100 pages done–better than starting at the beginning, I guess.

Hope you are ok after the fall get some stong men to move for you. Writing can wait but i doubt you see it that way it needs to be done. But yeah good that you started always better to start from somewhere then from nowhere

Ouch Keri! It is something that I would do however. Luckily my heroines have the co-ordination I don\’t!
