Winter has hit and I’m rambling..

June 29, 2011 by Nicole 6 Comments

And brrrrr is it cold! My thigh bones are aching, most annoying, does anyone else get this or am I just weird *lol* It’s been like that for as long as I can remember. The view from my desk today was grey with rain and misty. With seagulls whooping past as they tried to navigate the gales. I wouldn’t want to be a bird in this weather. The book count is 20,000 and still creeping up albeit a bit slower now that it’s not the ‘new’ thing. And I got a note from Lianne at Lovethyauthor that I’m going to feature on their site tomorrow. Which is fantastic and totally unexpected! So many thanks to them for this opportunity and I hope they enjoyed the read.
The difficult scene in Awakening is progressing slowly and I both dread and look forward to book three, Feel the Burn, for this reason. It’s crazy how much it takes a toll on me while working on them. I’m getting around a note a day from someone who’s just read The Arrival and wants to let me know they enjoyed it. Which really just makes my day *grin*
I’m missing my laptop lots as I hunch over my wireless keyboard with my computer jammed on a coffee table in front of me. My greatest wish now is that book two will sell well enough for me to get the tinsy Toshiba notebook I’ve spotted in the shops. Green, naturally ;p It has a battery life of eight hours and only weighs 1.1kg. So I’d actually be able to take it bush! Which would be cool.
Tonight it’s pizza at nana’s and she’s just had her second operation on her eyes so hopefully it means she’ll be able to read and watch TV again without feeling ill. I know she’s been aching to read for ages but because of the cataracts hasn’t been able to. This is the other reason I want to get The Arrival into Createspace, because she’d like to read it and I’m looking forward to see what she thinks of her character. Actually I’m not entirely sure she even remembers that I based a character on her so that should be a pleasant surprise for her.
A rambling post I know, next week I have a fabulous author lined up for interview (and now I’m going to dash off the questions to her before I forget). I hope you’re all well. Oh! And congrats to Pixie who is officially now Mrs Edgecombe and has to be one of the most beautiful brides I’ve seen. Isn’t this pic stunning?
Take care all!

    That's so crazy it's winter there! Sunny and 86 here today. Probably going to take my girl to the Tasty Freeze later on this afternoon. Hopefully, it will be like a John Cougar Mellencamp video…

    Good luck with Awakening!

    Hi Old Kitty ๐Ÿ™‚ Isn't she just? And my nana is feeling better, just waiting for her eyes to learn to focus better together. She's very excited that she'll only need glasses for reading.

    H Sean – I know! Stop skiting ;p And the rest of what you said zoomed over my head, I'm gonna have to google it all ;p
