I'm ...Well, you're welcome any time, Alis. I'm glad the WIP and son are progressing. My sons lay on the floor and watched TV while I yelled at them. The classic response to "you're not doing any work" was "I do work, but you never see me when I'm doing it".

Reading other people's blogs is restful whereas I'm finding even the concept of writing a post of my own mind-sapping at the moment. But the wip progresses, thanks, and son number two is knuckling down in admirable fashion.Alishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406189984167289987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-4906043153601570542010-04-24T16:00:05.931+01:002010-04-24T16:00:05.931+01:00Alis - aren't you supposed to be working...?

We tell ourselves the hardbacks are great (and they do look good on the mantlepiece) but the paperback is the true test - and damn if there isn't more of them out there than you realise; they'll turn up in bookshops when you least expect it!MFWChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351424217396802863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-61761298935382031422010-04-22T14:36:20.049+01:002010-04-22T14:36:20.049+01:00Excellent!
