Freelance Writing

This must surely be one of the coldest winters for a very long time. It's so beautiful, with the snow and ice covering the grime and decay of autumn, but fairly lethal underfoot at times. Our village hill has been more or less gritted regularly but getting from our house to the hill was like crossing a skating rink for a few days, once the snow turned icy. And the pavements are still not a good idea.

The new blog is going well - with six postings to date and some information to encourage other writers to send out work. I entered a couple of the flash fiction comps myself. I love sending things by email as it's so much easier than having to post things out and wait for the reply.

Received an email back from the agent I'd approached and she doesn't think she could find a market for my novel. I'm not too disappointed as I know it's a difficult time. Think I'll start sending it straight to publishers from now on. Also want to finish rewriting two children's novels - and to do some more articles for Suite101. Husband's website nearly finished, but I have two big story adjudications to start later this month. I do like being busy!
