Gingerlily - all cleaned up!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'm starting to feel the pressure to be witty and entertaining now!

[Patti (baconater)]

Awww. It comes naturally to you, Gingerlily!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Don't you realise I spend hours polishing the diamonds of my wit...

[Anita]

Well done Gingerlilly!!!!! thats great, I really do wish you every success. Afraid I don't do twitter but keep me posted on here on how it all goes please.


WELL DONE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

That's brill Gingerlily, looking forward to reading your story....

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I feel like I have already won the Booker prize! and it isn't even out yet...

[[deleted user]]

I've just found you on twitter and clicked to follow you. I'm on there as CornwallKew because Kew Gardens had already nicked my name!

:0)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I saw that Kew. I'm sure you're better and more worthy of the name!

[Karen]

Great news, Gingerlily. Now... where's that 'no' button...
Only joking - please don't throw custard at me. Or at least not when it's still in the tin.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Would I do that to a potential customer? (or should that be custardmer?)

[Lorraine]

custardmer !! haha Love it !

[Lynne (Tigger's Mum)]

Sorry I'm a bit late catching up on the BIG NEWS. Well done you. I will be able to say 'I knew her before she was famous' Brilliant news and looking forward to your book.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

The problem with the being famous bit, is that at some stage I have to DO MORE WRITING.....

[Lorraine]

Lol Gingerlily, are you starting to feel the "author's pressure?"

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'm trying not to think about it.

[Lorraine]

Here have some custard, it will help you relax :)

I think that counts as some sort of legally binding commitment to write some more stories, GL - promised in front of witnesses and everything!
Seriously though, I'm really glad you've decided to publish ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I just saw on Twitter that it is possible to download a sampler with the first page of each story. I went and had a look at the site but I can't figure out where you can download it from. I'll email them tonight and ask.

[M.A.]

Congratulations Gingerlily, can't wait to read it! ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Thanks Mel. :)

I sussed the sampler thing. Go to www.elsewhen.co.uk. Select the Weblog page. Click the word 'download' in the 2nd line of the Sampler post.

[Alison]

Hi GL ;-)

... Only 4 days, 1 hour and 11 minutes to go ....

Teehee!

* BIG smile *

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Oooh the tension is mounting.....

[Alison]

Can't wait ;-)

[Lorraine]

It will all be great, just enjoy the experience Gingerlily :)

[Alison]

Hello again GL

Tee hee. Less than 2 days to go... ;-)


(Should that be 'fewer than'?)

[Kath]

If you can count it - it's fewer.
Pedants Anonymous. I'm a life member!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Maybe we should have got you as our proofreader the Ignite!

Yes its getting very near that time, isn't it Alison. Are you going to be having your own little book launch party at 9am on Monday?

[Alison]

Hi Ignite

Glad to hear it!
As a rule I am as pedantic as the next woman (and proud of it ;-), but some incorrect phrases have become ubiquitous and the correct versions no longer sound 'right' to me.

'15 items or fewer'? Nah. Just sounds odd ;-(

You know, GL, I think I will ;-) I'll have a glass of wine to hand as I natter online on Monday. How about you? Is your meeting the sort that would benefit from glasses of raspberry vodka all round, to hurry things along?

[Kath]

Correct never sounds odd!
Definitive pedantic statement!

[Philip (sarah)]

Go Gingerlily! We will probably break Amazon all of us trying to download your book at once.

I have been known to do it!

I reckon that would call for two glasses of vino! ;-)

[Alison]

I'm going off to meet some old friends now.
Chat with you later. Hope the nails survive the day ;-)

[Philip (sarah)]

Make it 2 large glasses Alison and a double rum n custard for Gingerlily.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I will be at work at 9am on monday so wine is out of the question. Cakes are definitely on the menu though, so I will be hitting the shops as soon as they open.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Its here! It's here! One day early. Ooooh how exciting. I would like to get a large drink to celebrate, but if I do I'll never be able to get up in the morning.

[Lorraine]

Yay Gingerlily ! Congratulations !

[Lynne (Tigger's Mum)]

Bet you don't sleep well tonight, too excited. It must be like Christmas Eve for you, best of luck.

[Alison]

Tee hee! Silly grin time ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

My Mum thinks I'm going to be famous now. Yeah Mum....

[Lorraine]

[Lynne (Tigger's Mum)]

[Alison]
