Now I'm trying to write a children's book... and although I think I've got a good idea, it's very difficult indeed. Every word counts and all that.
I'm also about to start another writing course at the university - this one taught by Jackie Kay, whose writing I LOVE. The problem is that I shall feel a little intimidated. Although it's so blimming hard to get out of the door at 5pm on a Thursday evening - complicated arrangements involving our babysitter doing tea and even bed with the children, which is a step forward from her usual come in and watch tv when kids are already in bed gig! - that I think that I'll be too fraught to be intimidated. Phew -that was a long sentence. Maybe I should make them shorter for Jackie Kay!
I do hope something helps to make our fortune soon - budgeting is tiring and dispiriting I find.

Just think of that book with its glossy cover sitting in the front window of your local book store. That'll keep you going.
Buck up. And, what Legend said. Day dream a little.
I'm jealous! I haven't gotten up the nerve (and energy) to take a writing course; something that would benefit me immensely!
Go for it...the kids will be fine. :)
And then write that book!
