Hahaha! Given how much I write, people would soon be heartily sick of me. ‘Oh no, not another Jackie Ashenden book!’ 😉

Ah, I love your optimism re blogging about my books! I’m having a ‘it’ll never happen’ day today so thanks for the cheer-up. 🙂

You’re right, Jackie, Heidi has given Lorraine her ‘green light’. I’m sure there is someone out there cheering you on too (other than all of us, of course).

Just think how productive you will be when you are published. They will have to have a special category all for you!!

I love Lorraine’s idea of grabbing your book in Tesco. Seriously, that would be a good bit of publicity. When yours (positive!!) and Lucy’s books are on the shelf all us blogees should take a pic of the book and blog it. Would be fun 🙂

I just was wondering whether I want to have all the nervousness etc that pitching entails to pitch to someone I don’t really know if I want to pitch to. Sigh. Maybe I should wait to see if I get something accepted with HMB first… If!!

Could be an interesting exercise, even if not for M&B…

Somehow I don’t know if the editors would appreciate that kind of levity from an unpubbed author though. Sigh.

(Is it just me, or would anyone else like to read a book called ‘Old Coot’? I think it’s a great title.)

I am rather pleased with myself, it has to be said. Though it’ll come back to bite me no doubt when they’re all soundly rejected!
