The perils of superglue and 50,000 words in 31 days

24/6/2016

 
Publisher News: Still nothing and the whole Brexit/Recession/EU Who-ha has me concerned that publishers won't be investing in new writers. At least there are other alternatives and I shall wait and see what the next few months bring.

Writing Progress: I got distracted by my tax return but I've discovered that Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month's little sister) is starting again in July so I am going to use that to spur me on to finishing my next draft. I'm really excited about it. The countdown is on to 50,000 words in 31 days. 
​Books Read: I've nearly finished The Little Paris Bookshop. It's turned out to be a very different book to the one I expected it to be. Much sadder and more heart wrenching. I do love the idea of being a literary apothecary though.

​
Cakes Baked: Mini Victoria Sandwiches for my writing group meet up. Good things do come in little packages.

Crafts Made: Two shell lamps as part of my kick to use up all my shells and I think I have! It was my first foray into using superglue and I was a little terrified. I googled how to remove it from your skin before I even started - ever the optimist, or is that pragmatist. Fortunately I didn't stick any body parts together or get it in my eye (the instructions for that were horrifying!
