So You're a Writer?

Thank you so, so much, for all of the lovely comments yesterday! It was so great to share my big news with all of you. I'm sorry I didn't get around to everyone's blog last night -- ahem, there was a bit of wine involved -- but I will try to catch up soon!

I first saw this video on Nicola Morgan's site (she gives such great publishing advice, you have to check it out!); it comes from Strictly Writing. It's SO hilarious it made me blow crumbs over my keyboard with laughter!

    "Actually, she had three."

    and

    "I envy you having nothing to do but write. Personally, I'm busy. Some days I even find it difficult to fit in six hours of free online Tetris."

    HAHAHA, this made my day! Thanks for the laugh!

    How's your HEAD, oops a bit loud, sorry, excellent video, and sadly so true. Have told everyone in Ireland (seriously all 4million) about your book deal. No pressure or anything.

    How did I miss yesterday's post? CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so happy for you. I'd love to hear more about the whole thing. Hooray!

    That video sounds exactly like a conversation I've had, but without the published book, and a different accent.

    That is so funny! I love the 'I would like to be a writer' bit. Feels so... strangely true to life... coming from cartoons!

    I love these. One of the Novel Racers - Lane made some of these. For Lane’s films check out here, here and here. Surgery, the second one is particularly funny.

    I hope you enjoy them. (And my coding is correct - eek.)

    Talli,
    I'm sure most of your readers understand if wine is involved! You certainly deserve to celebrate.

    Thanks for the video as it is funny. Playing online Tetris instead of writing! No wonder the guy has no time to write! :)
