Life in General, Writing|I can’t go into details but I’m having ‘behind the scenes’ paperwork problems at the moment. Long story short, I need to provide information for my publisher, which entails me getting something to send to someone else, then waiting to hear back, etc. Gaggghhh. Yes, writing is not all fun, I assure you, so for now I’ve shelved my Swithin Spins. It doesn’t mean I won’t finish them, I’ve just been too stressed out to think of writing anything that is so directly tied to one publisher at the moment. If I write them in this frame of mind they won’t meet my expectations. I had finished the rough draft of the first book and was halfway through the second, so that’s a good place to pick up.I admit I’ve been so stressed with one thing or another — I’ve had three lots of ‘legal matters’ to sort out, including the fact that I am ‘post watching’ as I am in the midst of finalising my father’s estate (next time someone tells me something takes a year I’ll believe them) — that I didn’t write a word all week last week. I just couldn’t. The good news is that I felt a spark of inspiration so began a story for Aspen’s Del Fantasma series. I have no specific idea how long a work it will be but I imagine it falling into the novelette or novella range. I’ve not written a long work for AMP to date.
I’ve seen a holiday I very much want to go on and it’s on sale but I really don’t have the time. I have too many commitments and arrangements to make to contemplate going anywhere this year, but oh… I am sorely tempted. I am away this weekend for a break to celebrate my inlaws 50th Wedding Anniversary, and that’s something to celebrate indeed!
