Living on ice cream and chocolate kisses

I have been working on...gulp...a novel lately. I have been writing short stories for quite a while but this 'bigger' idea has been just sitting there, nestled in my brain, waiting for me to do something with it. It's a bit of a scary undertaking to imagine writing 60,000-odd words of fiction and, as a result, I have scared myself away from the whole concept on several occasions. But lately I have armed myself with a number of very interesting books on writing to give me faith and fortitude as well as some all important structure. The best one so far has been First Draft in 30 Days by Karen S. Wiesner, if you're interested.

To keep me company while I poke and prod at my imagination, I have been giving You Tube a fairly serious workout. I had forgotten entirely how good Billy Bragg is (sorry Billy)! I used to love listening to him in the 80s and 90s. Have you re-discovered any old faves like that recently?

And...lastly, but by no means least(ly)...Happy International Womens Day!
