Update
Sorry about the second week of absence.
For those of you who don’t know, Far North Queensland (where I live) was hit by a category 5 cyclone on the 3rd of February. Myself, my family, my pets and the house are okay (the yard, no so much) however some of my friends have lost their homes and we were without power here for a few days.
I hope to be ( Read more... ) -
Update
I’m preparing for two cyclones back to back AND tomorrow I’m flying to Brisbane for two days for my cousin’s funeral-so there will be no post this week.
Depending on the progress of the cyclones, I may be without internet/power for a few days, or even a week or longer. Please keep that in mind if you are trying to contact me.

Writing Tip Of The Week
UPDATES:
Tomorrow I should finish the first draft of Lifesphere book 2! I thought I would have it done LOOOONG before now, but now the end is here I can’t believe it’s done. It felt like the novel that never ended for a few weeks there.
Once it’s finished, I’ll be taking a week off. I’ll probably still do a few hundred words a day on some project ( Read more... ) -
Writing Tip Of The Week
UPDATES:
At this stage, I’m going to assume most of you know Queensland is flooded. The area of flooding is larger than France and Germany combined-dozens are dead and the number of homes inundated with water is over 25, 000-last time I checked.

Writing Tip Of The Week

Sorry I missed posting last week. I was recovering from a day in hospital and totally forgot. No news from the publishers yet. As I said, I’m not expecting to hear anything until the new year.
WRITING TIP OF THE WEEK:

Writing Tip Of The Week
UPDATES:
My agent, Sarah, emailed me this morning to tell me the editor’s she has approached are very excited about the project and now have the novel and info/synopsis package in their hot little hands. Sarah said we may have to wait until the new years to hear back from them. I wonder if I’ll get good birthday news? That would be a bit of a fairy ( Read more... ) -
Writing Tip Of The Week
UPDATES:
I’ve been finding the pressure of having an agent detrimental to my writing process lately. Whenever I sit down to write for the day, I feel like she is watching over my shoulder and I imagine what feedback she will give on different sections of the writing as I’m writing it.
I am literally trying to second guess what she will say BEFORE I ( Read more... )
