As I was saying...
...so, yeah, we went to Arizona. And it was brilliant. So brilliant that I still haven't got around to writing up my holiday journal. Stayed tuned, if you're interested. It will appear.
After the fabulous holiday, I came home and spent the next week in bed with a combination of flu and jetlag. Which meant I started my new teaching job feeling incredibly unprepared. But four weeks in and I'm really enjoying it. I teach postgraduate Radio Journalism three days a week. The "kids" are bright and sparky and great fun, but there's a lot of preparation to do.
On top of that, I just got a new book deal and have to finish my third novel by mid-February. Ah well. The gamble I took - giving up my job and attempting to survive on freelance work and writing - seems to be paying off. All I need to do right now is get myself a few more comedy gigs and I'll be away.
