The night shift...
Who said a book is ever finished?
At four o' clock this morning, I woke, and suddenly thought... I don't like that penultimate scene. As the book was due in today, there was only one thing for it...
Creep downstairs, try and persuade my two elderly doggies that, no... it wasn't time for their breakfast, or for their walk, and no, they couldn't bark with unalloyed excitement at my unexpected early arrival, and then, get to work...
Actually, I guess I spent close to five hours on that scene... and once it was done, I slumped with relief.
Moral of the story, girls: never short change your H & h... they don't like it, and they only wake you up in the early hours to put things right!
Love to all- and wishing all of us a good night's sleep!
