My Non-Writing Week

I'm spending the week in Brisbane for a family wedding. I brought my laptop with me, telling myself that of course I'd get writing done. Of course I would. Unfortunately I overlooked the fact that I would be sharing a motel room with my 9 year old nephew. 
"Aunty Lisa, are you playing Plants Vs Zombies?" 
"No. I'm writing." 
"Do you write proper books?" 
"Yes." 
"Why can't I read them?" 
"They're for grown-ups. You can read one when you're eighteen." 
"Aunty Lisa, can I just sit beside you while you write?" 
"No." 
"Is that a rude word? Did you write the f-word there? I'm telling Nana!" 
And so much for getting any writing done this week... 
Meanwhile, The Good Boy has been really well-received so far. It's always a strange thing to put a book out there, because you never know it people are going to love it, hate it, or -- worse -- ignore it. So to everyone who's bought a copy, thanks so much! You guys rock!

Thanks Deb! I have shopped too much. I have blisters. But I also caught up with friends I hadn't seen since school, and drank too much sangria, so it's been fantastic!
