Good

Image: Anonymous

My yesterday in a sentence: good work at the day job, good to get home, good to eat a home-made dinner, good to relax, good editing session on GREENER, good book from which I read, and good bar of chocolate with a good film in the evening. A good day.
I received a written rejection [...]

A Hard Day

A hard day yesterday as we cremated a colleague and friend from our office. A large fleet of cars made its way to Mortonhall Crematorium to say our last respects to Kerr Duncan, who died last Sunday. It was a terribly sad day but the turnout of mourners testament to the man whose life was [...]

Warehouse Grub

I began the mammoth task of sifting through my email yesterday. I’m still missing several days from last week despite being assured they will come through once all the data is copied over, but I remain dubious. AM – can you resend your email please? It looks like it’s got lost and I [...]

The Submission Discipline

One of my things I decided to pay more attention to this year was keeping up the level of submissions I have out and ensuring they get turned around after a rejection as quickly as possible. It doesn’t always happen, but generally speaking I’ve kept to the discipline, also managing to include more [...]

I had six hours of sleep before I had to log back into the Company network to complete yesterday’s marathon software installation. It felt like I’d had half an hour. Thankfully, it all went reasonably well, despite me running on autopilot for the first hour or so.
My boss came to see me [...]

The Bitterest Pill

Yesterday was all about mellowing, my sister, and the Modfather. After a nice long sleep I woke up and got ready and had breakfast with Lindsay; hot filled rolls cooked to order. Then we cracked open the Guinness and cider and hung out for the day catching up and listening to music.
In the evening [...]

Meltdown

Image: Image Editor

Thursday …
I can’t believe I slept in this morning. I should never have stayed up so late reading Rankin’s new book, Doors Open. Serves me right, and it knocked me right off my plans for the day. I had wanted to have written my NaNo quota before I left for work, as it [...]

Blair Drummond Safari Park

Today was a non-writing day. I had the day off work so I could head up to Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling. The weather was so nice for the trip, I should really have worn a hat or some sun cream, but being the baldy idiotic Scot that I am, I never bothered. Result: [...]

It Ain’t So Bad

Slept in and had to get the trawler bus up Leith Walk through all the tram works as a result. Total nightmare. With all the tunnels and shafts underneath this city you’d think an underground system would be more appropriate. I might have moaned about this before.
I received a rejection in this morning from Eclectica [...]
