I didn’t think a few years ago that I’d call myself a writer. And actually as I stood at SENZ this weekend and talked to someone about my book and she wrote my name down and wrote “author of..” I nearly stopped her. No. Um. You got that wrong. I’m a Mum. I have to be back home by about 2pm because my kidlets would have lost the plot by then. I have dinner to cook and it looks like it’s raining over my way so I need to get in the washing. But I didn’t. She wrote it, I noticed it, and it hasn’t left my mind since.
Which leads me to my next thing – I have a copy of my book in my hands – or actually sitting on the desk beside me – and I’ve had it for days. I hadn’t told anybody really. Cos it’s freakin me out. It’s been years since the writing, there’s that word, starting forming itself in my mind and it was so much work creating this book and now it is here. And there is a lot of me in this book. Actually literally. lol. Who’d of thought I had that many pics of myself, but seriously there is a lot of me in this book. And I guess that bears repeating. I’m freakin out.
Anyhow – I have a point. Last week I wrote a proposal for an article for a U.S. magazine. Just tonight I wrote an article for Scrapbooking Memories. I just finished up what I was doing as Paul finished up his assignment, and he says to me “have you finishd your writing?”. Yep. I said. Writing. That is that word again. Actually I’ve only just started ;o)
Emily challenge – I was going to show you my latest but clearly I’m not because photobucket aren’t hosting too well tonight. ;O) tomorrow maybe.
For those of you asking about my classes (as per comments left) I know there are plans for them to be available to buy online in NZ soon and I will most certainly keep you updated!
