There is always a plus side.

I am feeling very virtuous. I wrote 2,500 words today. It may be crap but at least I wrote. Did some work on another book as well.

Nero the love dog has been very demanding and has now discovered that if he jumps up and knocks me I will know it is time to throw his ball! A bit of a pain when you have to stop every few words to throw the ball. I need a bigger place so that he has to run further to get it. he is very cute and is quite cuddly at the moment. He wanted to sit on my lap for a while, but when he started to try and type I realised that wasn't going to work very well. he is going to love Australia sooo much. Not sure how he will cope with Taffy the monster cat. Taffy thinks he is in control of the animal kingdom, humans included. Usually he is quite correct!! Cats do not take reprimands as well as dogs do. Taffy just looks at you disdainfully fully confident that he will get what he wants in the end.

This writing business is a bit hard. I remember Bryce Courtney saying in an interview that the main thing a person needs to become a writer is bum glue! The discipline is not there yet but hopefully I will be able to adopt a good habit with the same ease that I can adopt bad ones :)

We shall see.
