Well I've been working on a report for eight months so that's two months longer than normal and I've been stressed and tired. I still have the RSI though it is on the improve. I've been studying English Grammar, which has been so much fun. Assignment work today and then I finish the course tomorrow. This means I should have some mental space for writing for a few months. I have a number of ideas for shorts as well as some novels to polish and write.
I've been doing a series on interviews on my writing blog. The latest is with Joanne Anderton
http://donnamareehanson.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/beta-reading-interview-number-8-joanne-anderton/ I find this series quite interesting, particularly the varying degree in which some published writers use beta readers in the writing process.
I spent the weekend in Sydney hanging with Trudi C and others and then at the Aurealis Awards. They were great. Well done Sydney and Specfaction. Congratulations to all the winners and those shortlisted.
Now I have to get to work in my cold house and think of innovative ways to get the heating fixed or replaced. Not going to happen anytime soon, I think.
