Deepest darkest revision territory...
Having raised my head in glorious triumph from one set of revisions I am straight into another set. Aaaargh! And I want to have fun.
Fun? (high pitched shrieky voice of imaginary editor) (sound of whip cracks getting closer)
Back to work you shirking scumble-brain. If you'd got it right first time (more whip cracks... so close now that I can hear them whistling past my ear)you wouldn't be writing 250,000 words for every 55,000 words required.
Aaaaeee! (as whip makes contact)
(silent question to self) Maybe a whole new genre is opening up for me here...?
Perhaps not!!!
I like my romance comfy and warm...make that raunchy and hot- But please don't make it sting!
OK, so maybe these revisions are not going to happen in time for Friday, cos' Friday is tree buying and tree decorating day and Aunty Kay is coming to help us, which gives me the perfect excuse for a traditional English afternoon tea... tiny sandwiches, cream scones with jam and icky sticky cakes. Yum
Then on Monday afternoon we're all going- Aunty Kay included, of course, to the Pantomime... another enviable English tradition.
So, will I get those revisions completed?
'Oh, yes you will....'
'Oh, no you won't' (you're supposed to shout one after the other ad infinitum)
Anyone who hasn't been to see a pantomime of course, won't have a clue what I'm going on about. But the short of it is- the audience are supposed to join in wherever possible... and right now, I could do with you all cheering me on!!!
Will I complete those revisions? (hand to ear as I listen for your reply...)
'OH, YES, YOU WILL!!!'
Love and happy reading everyone!
