Good morning Flist!

It is still morning isn't it? ::checks:: Uh huh. But only just. I'm just breaking for a much-needed mug of cawfee...

Because I just completed the last chapter of the first part of the Chasing Rainbows sequel, which is a rather lovely feeling.  It took me longer than I thought; I should be stripping the kitchen floor about now, but Mark is being very understanding. (o: It'll need to be read-through and smoothed over with a critical eye, but I should be able to get that posted to my estimable betas later on today. For those of you reading my Academy tale, I'm going back to that next; it's all prepped and ready to go and I and should be able to post a fresh chapter in a day or two. 

And I finished another chapter of m'novel this morning - must get the submission off to a fresh batch of agents, today.

So, all in all,  I'm feeling pretty damn smug and self-satisfied. It's another gorgeous day out there; warm, but autumnal with that lovely September tang in the air. Hopefully the weather should hold for the afternoon and I can get a run in the hills while the heather's still in bloom (I likes me a run in the heather (o:)

Right, well then, coffee, I guess, then pressing on with the mucky stuff. I hope you're all having a gradely day, my lovelies. XX

Sounds productive! I got a few pages written yesterday (at work lol) on the second half of a fic that I started writing seven years ago.

I wish our weather would veer more toward the autumnal. It's still hotter than hell here during the day. Mother Nature's only concession to the approaching equinox is cooler nights. lol

"the second half of a fic that I started writing seven years ago. "
Sounds intriguing! What fic is that?

I have to go and work now, though, which is a shame, especially considering the work (stripping the top layer off a stone kitchen floor with v unpleasant chemicals). Girding my loins and donning protective body armour...

See you on the other side. Enjoy your day.

Chasing Rainbows AND Academy? Be still my beating heart.

Just can't wait! *g*

LOL. Well I'm writing as fast as I can!

Heh. Well I had my run and a work out too ::is virtuous:: Now I'm waiting for the darn courgettes to grill so we can *eat* (darnit - they're slow)

I'm glad you're pleased, but it'll be a while yet; I've only finished part one - there's a long way to go, still as it's clearly shaping up to be another novel-length epic. ::sigh::

The novel is on it's second leg. I tried to sell it once before with no luck; giving it another try...

I have to confess, I never really 'got' the A Team at all.

When you get the novel published you MUST let us know so we can buy a copy.

I hope you got all you wanted to do done today.

Well I've been trying for years so don't hold your breath - but thanks for the vote of confidence! (o:

"I hope you got all you wanted to do done today."
