What a 'May day'!!

Well, I am finding it difficult to believe it is May already - I mean, where has the year gone? During the Easter holidays I had a bad fall, hurting my ankle pretty badly. Nine days later and it still hurts like hell. With foot up and nothing else to do you'd think I'd have time to write more? Wrong! The painkillers made me too drowsy and a little bit spaced to concentrate, so not many words were put together!
However, I am bounding back with a vengeance - I have written an article for TNB to come out on 1st June, nearly finished another for May and am finishing researching for my next 'Women through the ages' - Helen Keller.
Before I fell arse over tit and cried like a girl!! I had a great time at Royden Park telling fearie stories and offering an art workshop for children (and adults) to use nature in their creations - we had some wonderful artwork so a big thank you to those children (and adults!) who took part.
Hoping to be working with a cover artist asap for my faerie stories using one or more of the magical artist Marina White's creations, so fingers crossed.
So many of you are asking me about the third novel 'Where Rivers meet'. I know and understand your frustration, it is mine also, but time it seems is not my friend right now and large projects like that are lingering in the background, whining to be finished - and it will be, I promise. Lots of research to be done and interviewing professionals to get the facts right. Second draft will be worked on asap.
As I read through this, I realise just how much stress I put on myself. How we all add to our tension by making lists of 'things that must be done'. I want to be writing my novel so badly it hurts sometimes, but bills need to be paid and my brain is in short article mode for now. I await the time of my brain awakening with passion and gusto, but I will not force it otherwise shit happens!!
Enjoy your day people, breathe and release the tension. Live. x
