Thanks everyone for the great input on my last post! Got some great ideas. You rock, did you know that? Anyway, still on the subject of my difficulties with heroines, I had a bit of a brainwave today. It actually happened while I was doing a pilates class (as you do).

Difficult Heroines
Right, well, no news for me this week. But I’m good with that. No, really, I am. Patience is a virtue and one I’m slowly learning.

I realise that in fact, I hadn’t read it properly. Or at least, I only saw parts … Continue reading “Reflections on Heroines”

Moving On – The Next Sub
I’m posting quick smart because I don’t want my rejection post to be the first thing people see on my blog. It’s been a hell of a process but it’s done now and I’m moving on. And what better news to move on with than an email from Anna. After telling her that I had … Continue reading “Moving On – The Next Sub”
