And we're off

If only I could type with my feet.
Despite the fact of only having one small brain, I find myself once again overloaded with awesome things to do.
Firstly, I'm delighted to say that Irish edits have begun on the Ghost Book (hoorah!) I had a meeting with my new ed yesterday during which much coffee was sipped, and apple tart nibbled. We talked long and hard and decide where we're going with my protagonists, Pat and Dom, and the darkness in which they find themselves. I'm very happy with New Ed's suggestions ( and quite surprised a how little has to be done) I came home rubbing my hands with glee, ready to get down to it.
But I'm at a very strong section of the current novel right now, and so the next couple of days my focus will be on getting that section finished. There's a pretty major change of tone after this bit and I won't feel too bad laying it aside for a couple of weeks, but I feel it would be a big mistake to walk away from my characters right at this moment. No-one wants to be left lying underground in the dark with only half a dress on. It just don't feel right. So Pat and Dom will have to wait 'til I'm finished with Tina and Joe, and then full steam ahead with Ghostbook.
Tomorrow I'm heading up for a photoshoot in Glasnevin Cemetery ( the photo will illustrate an article I wrote for You magazine) so fingers crossed it stops drizzling and the clouds part for some of that glorious Autumn gold we had last week.
Friday I'll be on the Tom Dunne Show again. He'd better not ask me anything to do with numbers. He'll be well within reach of my slapping hand this time and I'm not afraid to use it!
And with that - I'm diving into work. Got to get Tina off the damp ground and into some proper clothes before she catches her death.
