ratbonesSo my life did not stop being a cavalcade of lesser cataclysms since my last post - I've been ill, then had a sequence of urgent and unplanned work projects, then a death in the family, and next week I'm moving house, not exactly unexpectedly but sooner than I thought.
I have a fairly small amount of final editing work to do on the novel using the beta feedback which is just sitting in my inbox, but when I have pockets of free time I haven't been able to think clearly enough to do that sort of exacting work. I've been adding words to a TGAA fic instead, which doesn't ask quite so much of me...And that also is going painfully slowly. Beta readers: I'm not ignoring you on purpose! Nothing I'd rather be doing than actually using your work to polish the manuscript. Cannot wait to get back to it, if the universe will please just cut me a break.
Anyway this is just to say I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, at least not willingly. Ughhhh. I really try to keep a stable, healthy, boring lifestyle that preserves my energy for writing and thinking and such, and I'm deeply frustrated by all the outside forces conspiring against that recently.
