[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 64434, member: 1991"] Just to correct some misconceptions - it's a friend's book, not mine that I've been working on over the last few weeks. This book is by a retired sociology professor and is a guide-book to coping with ageing - but from a practical, positive and Aussie point of view. I've still got to support her through the final proofs approval stage as well as liaise with the cover design people, but this is a snack now. I expect the book will be back from the printer's in two weeks or so. I've desk-top published newsletters and journals, the first book I put together was for a local writing group then I self-published my own a few years ago. Since then I've done a few for other people. I'm working on other writing tasks at the moment, plus difficult child 3's schooling etc takes up too much of my time to get any real writing done. I view my journal of him as a work in progress - like difficult child 3. Alyssa, I think the national dragonboat races are held in Sydney Harbour. That's several harbours away from us. Haven't seen any practising lately, I think it's still a bit too early, although the winter water temperature hasn't dipped below 20 degrees C - could be why we've had a lot more rain this winter. I'll keep you posted as I find out more. Maybe I need to frequent the beaches a bit more, on the weekends. Marg [/QUOTE]
