I sort of review my own book A Perfect Forever

It's November, and November 1st is apparently National Writers Day, so I suppose I should honour the writers by writing... something!!

As in, a pseudo-review of one of my own books. Yes, you read that right, although it will be brief, I promise.

I am currently reading a proof copy of the print version of A Perfect Forever, which is Farrell and Nick’s story.

As I read it, given I haven’t read it for years, I think I maybe wrote the Farrell character a little too snippily, but then, she is career focused and high pressured and there is so much stuff going on in her life. So, as I proof it one more time, I may tweak a few more things to make her a little less snippy... but not too much. Because a big part of it is that there is a softer side to her which Nick brings out. In fact, maybe I'll leave Farrell Bridgewater as she is, with all her snippy imperfections. (If you ask where I got her name from, I have no idea. I just know that when I first came up with the idea for this book with her professor father, I had her name as Farrell and it all just seemed to fit with her character.)

However, and more importantly, is that I really really loved the story. It was quite sad in parts, and I loved the relationship with Farrell's mother and step father, and Nick with his sister, Maddie. Is it a little nuts reviewing my own book? A hundred percent, but then if I don't like my own books, how do I expect anyone else to? I'm giving it 5/5.

To note, another good reason to re-read it is that I am working here-and-there on a fourth book in the Clearlake series featuring hotel manager Belinda Grey, and ex sports star, Jordan Pritchard, so it is great to visit fictional Clearlake again and re-immerse myself in it.

Wet weather

It is starting to get cooler, praise be. There was a heap of rain one day this week, and by the time I got to work I was damp, to put it mildly. Soaked is overstating it but uncomfortably wet. Have you ever tried to dry off your trousers with a hair dryer? I would have been there forever! If only, I thought, I had a spare anything at work, like a skirt even, but no. Nothing to change into. There was only a pair of pantyhose in case I ripped them, although I had stuffed spare socks and boots in my bag so I could have dry feet at work. It is worth noting that the very next day I went to work, I had completely forgotten that thought about spare clothes altogether and did not take spare anything for future weather events. In fact, I only remembered as I was thinking about writing this blog post. Hopeless. Given I’m trying to keep up my walking part-way to work to get in a good 40 minutes/steps, I should take along spare clothes to keep in my locker just in case. It really was uncom...

My latest obsession

I have recently been a bit obsessed with the practice of junk journalling. Junk jouraling! I love it so far. Its been around a few years and seems to have taken over a bit from from the scrapbooking of yore, but the thing I like about it is you use up all your stuff that is lying around. You can use all your rubbishy bits and pieces of paper and things. I like the tutorials of a lady called Leah with a channel called Thrifty Day , and I've had a go at it and I kind of really like doing it. Sometimes I feel a bit out of sorts (I blame hormones... or perhaps it is, rather, the lack of them!) and so I decide to cut stuff up and stick it on a page and I feel better. Therapeutic! I also think that because it is play and there are no rules and you can be as messy as you like, and start again if the page looks like utter rubbish, well, it is just so good for you. It's like being a kid and let's face it... we got to do all the cool stuff when we were kids. Why not , now we're ...

An old post

This is a blog I wrote for a now defunct pop culture site I used to contribute to, some years ago. A friend was reading some fiction I’d written the other day and after telling me what she did like about it, commented, “But you’re no Jane Austen.” The only Jane Austen I have read is “ Emma .” and it was read under duress at university. I consider myself a person of not massively low intelligence, but it took three reads to get my head around it. Interestingly, that paper was not only my first and only complete Jane Austen experience, but my first and only experience of analysing English literature. I did get an A but not without suffering a degree of depression as a result. Yes, I gained an appreciation for some things (Elizabeth Barrett Browning sonnets, oh my gosh!) but analysing Emily Dickinson was enough to sap the will to live right out of me. Fortuitously, at the end of that semester, I saw the movie Stargate on TV, and promptly un-enrolled myself fr...
