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. Certainly Maisey’s 20 month wait for her Call is a fantastic lesson in good things come to those who wait. So I shall continue waiting. In the meantime, I … Continue reading “Difficult Heroines”

We Apologise for the Delay – Normal Service Will Resume in a Fortnight
Yes, I have heard back from M&B. It was a lovely email letting me know that there has been a delay and that I’ll get my feedback within a fortnight. Sigh. It’s very nice of them to let me know this – they certainly didn’t have to send me anything at all – so I’m … Continue reading “We Apologise for the Delay – Normal Service Will Resume in a Fortnight”

They hurt my feet and they make me feel overdressed. But now, as I edge closer towards the big four … Continue reading “New Boots”

Thanks to everyone who posted encouraging comments – felt much better after reading those! I think learning to wait is the hardest part of this journey for me. I’ve never been good with being … Continue reading “Not Thinking About It”
The Death of Chatterton Or Feeling Annoyed With Waiting
I feel a bit like poor old Chatterton today. Or at least, lying picturesquely on a poorly lit bed with the remains of my torn up manuscript at my side, while I overdose on laudanum is looking increasingly attractive.It’s the wait you see. I know, banging on about waiting again. It’s now five weeks since … Continue reading “The Death of Chatterton Or Feeling Annoyed With Waiting”
