Hmmm, where to start?
OK currently re-evaluating week style at mo' This was caused by me falling asleep in the bath trying to plan out the following days work causing me to be late for that days work... Basically I spend most of the week walking about in a bit of a tired daze trying to work out what the next days lesson or group is going to be and whether I'm sufficiently planned for it. Managed to squeeze a meeting into one day with Highland books, publishers of my first two books and soon to be publishers of the third and, possibly, the fourth as well, and they asked how the writing was going on book 3. Which I haven't had the time to do anything on for months now. So basically something has to give somewhere along the line and I've decided what it'll be. So, as of now I'm not teaching sunday school stuff for the teenagers (which was a hard, hard thing to give up but one of the only ones that was not a hard decision, just tough to do. I'd been doing it as part of a group for 16 years now and alone for about half a year and time wise it's a hard thing to juggle correctly. Somebody told me that no-one would ever take over while they saw me doing it, even if I wasn't doing it as well as I could do or unable to give it as much time as it deserved and so, behind my back, a few people started to talk about how things could change and persuaded me to say yes to bowing out... Was a bit tearful on the day, I'm extremely fond of all of the kids involved, but to have saturdays back isn't unpleasant). Also talked to my college boss and trying to sort a plan out to finalise the groups I do on a friday. This should, hopefully, leave me with three 15 hour working days, one 5 hour day and the rest free. Best of all when I get there friday should be free for concerted writing bursts.
Well, it's a plan anyway.
Apart from that had to do some research for a crib sheet for publisher to take to a couple of trade shows with him and found, probably for the only time ever, this came up on a websearch: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/books/280224/ref=pd_ts_pg_2/203-8720086-6904708?ie=UTF8&pg=2
So,
