G'day, Sharon. I hope you get to the health club today.
I had a lazy day today, after hitting the books hard over the last few weeks. I finished my book but wasn't happy about the last couple of chapters and yesterday I worked hard, tidied up those chapters and was able to email it to husband who printed out two copies for me. I'm meeting with a publishing consultant on Sunday. Wish me luck! I still had a bit more work to do for that as well - I have to now sell the book to an interested publisher.
So I figured, time to get my Vitamin D dose. I got on my scooter and took my notes to the beach, spent a little time soaking up the sun and writing up my pitch. The wind chill factor was up a bit but the sand underneath me was warm so it made up for it. Tomorrow morning I hope to get in a bit more sun time. Possible rain forecast in the afternoon - we're fully in a La Nina effect here, which for us means humidity,, heat and storms all summer. But at least the sea is very warm, I enjoy a warm sea to swim in.
We saw an ad on TV tonight for a new movie - "The Immortals". I almost want into panic mode, the ad looked like someone had written something too similar to my book (which is based on the Minotaur legend). But I looked up the movie when I got home - it's okay, what I have got will still look very original. I just don't want the market swamped by mythology before I get to make my mark!
It's already Saturday here (just) so I'd better get to bed. I need to catch up on sleep. I've been dreaming in Greek myths for weeks now, as I got down to the final chapters.
For my next work, it's probably back to the future - I've got a partly finished sci-fi near future novella which could well expand into something bigger. Not as big as my current epic, thank goodness! Or there's the book on raising difficult child 3 and the hurdles we've had to jump. THAT one is going to offend people!
Enjoy your Friday. I'll be thinking of you all enjoying your winter while I sweat it out at the beach, and in the garden pruning the star jasmine and fertilising the tomatoes...
