My apologies for not posting recently, folks. I promise I have been writing. In fact, that’s the reason for not posting – I’ve been writing.
In the last 3 months (ie, over June, July and August) I have:
- Finished the manuscript for 40 Days with Labyrinths due out in the new year through Darton, Longman & Todd,
- Drawn the artwork for 40 Days and (shriek of panic) cover artwork too! More of this later.
- Finally met my editor at DLT, the adorable David Maloney, … in a 1950s spy swap … on the Glienicke Bridge at midnight … come alone and unarmed, and bring $10,000,000 …
(OK, we met over a latte at Wetherspoons so that I could give him the artwork. Can’t I have a little fun?) - Written the URC’s Midnight Communion service
- Completed the first draft of Story Zero in a children’s series (“Story Zero?” I hear you ask, Yes, indeed!) #MargieMagellan
- Completed second draft of Story One and (very) rough outlines of the rest of the series
- Submitted two academic papers to journals
Taken my daughters to Alton Towers for a ‘last holiday for all of us before they disappear’ (Pic! <3)- Plus various other days out, treats and mini hols with my daughters
- Typeset two more Nativity scripts to go with God Is With Us – Everywhere! plus a compendium book of all three
Look out for Christmas Gone Worng! and Away in a Suitcase, coming soon!) - Guided my 20+ students through GCSE maths and sciences (my goodness, that seems along time ago now)
- and between all that I think I managed to breathe a few times.
Phew! I’m looking forward to the start of term so that I can have a rest!
