…The new look that is.
The re-design you do when the words are not flowing as they should.
Very country…don’t you think?
I like it…!

Be a shelf elf!
Here’s how…
- Enter local bookstore
- Locate books written by favourite authors, author friends, writing buddies, etc
- Re-arrange said books on shelves so those positioned ‘spine only’ are turned to be ‘front facing’
- Leave store smiling
So easy. Anyone can do it.
So come on…be a shelf elf at least once a week.
Print books rock!
New Year, New Attitude
Okay, I admit to leaving last year behind with mixed feelings.
Personally, 2010 was a bloody awful year (family/health stress mostly). Professionally there were some seriously good highlights, but then a strange and terrifying nothingness, which unfortunately led this creative mind to making up crazy plots (usually with disappointing endings).
Enter the Queesland floods…. Nothing like a country being devastated by catastrophic weather events to give the whiney writer a reality check. (And if Anna Bligh didn’t show me how to remain positive and cope under pressure…well…I don’t know real pressure!)
So with my new I-have-so-much-to-be-grateful-for attitude, I am getting back into my happy grind of writing and blogging. I’m also donating to various flood appeals/initiatives (more on this and how you can win in a couple off days).
In the meantime I have sent off three entries into the RWA Little Gems Short Story contest. I made it into the anthology last year. Can I do it again?
Yes I can! (positive, positive, positive)
