Brief cathartic whinge

[dreamer_easy]

Gods, I'm knackered. Not just "had a dodgy night's sleep in the heat a couple of days ago" knackered. Soul-weary. I've only got one goal in my life and that's to get an original novel published. Everything else has become an annoying interruption. My emails are a jumble, the house is a disaster area, I never see anybody else. I wish this was all jolly and eccentric and writerly, but I'm exhausted by trying to juggle it all. My stress levels are ridiculous and my social phobia is rampant. All I need to do is develop and stick to a routine, make sure I do my relaxation exercises, and get out more often, instead of of which I go about the countryside stealing ducks. Uhhh. I think I'd better go back to bed.

I hear ya...

Is that what strange flesh is to be? I will keep an eye out for when it's published!

Stealing ducks? Alive and quacking? OR frozen?
Enquiring minds need to know.

It's Judge William Arabin, famous for his muddled remarks from the bench: "Prisoner, God has given you good abilities, instead of which you go about the country stealing ducks."

That's a new one on me. I'd love to know what the judge actually meant.

BTW, if you and Jon wish to come to our place for New Years Eve, David and Kyla will be coming, food and boardgames will be provided. Just bring what you like to drink, and any special foods you can't see the New Year in without. I'll even run you home after midnight. Drop me a line at saraswati at optusnet dot some dot au if you are coming.

As far as I'm concerned, your "Doctor Who" books *were* original novels. Chin up :-)
