The last post of 2008

Ahh, the end of 2008 is creeping ever closer! It's been a good year for me. I've got a job which is better than last year as I think I didn't. I had a lot of rejections for my Voscarian Child story, but it was a good thing, because it made me see that I still had a long way to go before it was finally ready for publication, and let's face it, AuthorHouse Publishing have offered to publish my book if its any good, so I have until Autumn 2009 to save the money and get the book ready.
I have also been doing an OU course on Fiction writing and its helped, my work is now more detailed, I understand more about different approaches to stories and ok if I don't pass this time around, I do know my way around the storytelling. I can always take it again.

I have a lot of plans for 2009, mostly the plans I had for 2008 pushed onto the new year, but only because I couldnt achieve them - I wasn't ready. I still aim to see David Tennant in the new year but whether its going to be in Cardiff or another venue is yet to be discovered.

I'm also wondering how they're going to write him out of Doctor Who, I'm sure he's already got an inkling as to what that is, I just hope his predecessor isn't someone we've already seen in the show. It will be hard to top David as the Doctor, I think they'll lose a massive fan base when he leaves, but hopefully with Steven Moffatt at the helm, their writing should still be worth hiding behind the sofa for.

This year 2008 I got asthma, not something I relish, makes me very yukky and tired and lethargic, but that could be the iron deficiency and low blood count. Never a good combination, so next year 2009 I need to take better care of myself. Hardly likely to see David Tennant if I'm stuck in a hospital bed or my own am I?
I also hope my other half wins his case against his employers then at least I won't hear anymore about it. It's been going on now for almost 2 years.

So with the kids about to tear strips off each other and drive me insane and unable to study and settle and cope with the computer work because I'm constantly interrupted, I'll go now and find something that needs doing before the end of the year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. And let's hope its a good one!
