A bit about me…

Apparently, I was nearly born in the car on the way to the hospital.

‘Always in a rush!’ my mum would say.

I guess she is right, I’ve always been dashing to get somewhere, anywhere. I am rarely late, always striving to make something of myself, hoping everything will turn out right. Some things have, others fizzled ‘n spluttered, a few turned into a nightmare. I think if there is a lesson to be learnt, it is to take time to enjoy the small things along the way.

Last year I did something I had always imagined doing, but never thought possible. I finished writing a book. Even better, I have another on the way. Contrary to my usual mantra, both took me a long time to write. Often working until midnight, more often way after – I should now apologise to my employers, who put up with a lacklustre, sometimes grumpy worker first thing in morning, especially before his coffee. One morning after a nightmare tube journey, no time to zoom into Prets then finding the kettle broken, I almost made a cappuccino from the steam coming out of my ears!

All I can say is the book is me because I put all of me into it and I switch between feelings of ridiculous elation to plunging insecurity about it. I have only recently set up this account because I was invited to do the Next Big Thing Blog Hop by the lovely Rebecca Munro.  Here is hers from last week http://justagirldancingwithearth.wordpress.com/

Mine will be tomorrow.

Happy New Year!
