I've just submitted ~ for the first time EVER ~ a piece to Mslexia. Under my real name.
I feel a bit sick, actually. But also rather proud of my bravery. Have utterly no belief that it will make it in, but I'm getting back on the submission horsey and starting to send stuff off, as I feel like I've done naff all in writing terms recently. Thats not strictly true, but I've been nowhere near focussed of late, and I need to get back into it.
It's been chaotic, the last few weeks.
The play wot I was in is done and dusted ~ thank Christ. Not a happy experience, overall, for lots & lots of reasons. Audiences loved it, mind you, but the rehearsal process was the most aggravating I've ever endured. I'll blog about it in more details when I've got a bit more perspective on that!
In other news, I've embarked upon a course of acupuncture, for stress relief, primarily, and I may well be addicted.
And I've started counselling, with regard to the miscarriage, as things were
getting harder, not easier, as time went on, and that ain't helping anyone or anything.
I've realised that I don't blog ~ or write ~ enough because I feel like I should have loads to say in order to make it worthwhile. And then I never get round to it.
So from now on snippets are the way forward for me.
Bite by bite.....

Good to see you blogging again. Congrats on the play. Acupuncture for stress sounds good - let me know if it works, I could always do with a new way to deal with stress!
Good luck with the Mslexia submission. If you get published by them you get huge kudos, agents will fall at your feet and other writers will be jealous of you (well, I will anyway! ;o))
good luck with Myslexia nd ditto what Calistro said!
Glad the acupuncture is working. Does it hurt?
Snippets are good. Very good:-)
Oooh Kate. I am so impressed that you could possibly be addicted (even a bit) to acupuncture. I had it done a few times here in Bangkok and she stuck about 30 needles into me ... and left me there for half an hour. Ooh, I didn't like it much and only last about four sessions.
You've taken a big brave step to deal with the miscarriage stuff: well done. All the very best with that.
And crikey, good luck with the Mslexia submission. You don't do things by halves, eh?
Well done on the Mslexia submission Kate. I have been meaning to write something to send to them for ages.
Congratulations on the submission. Nerve-wracking isn't it? I submitted last year for the first time and I was a wreck for four weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed for you:)
