Time Goes By

Hi All,

Another few weeks have passed and it’s the same old, same old.

Still ploughing through the Angel book, struggling to survive each day with intense back pain, wishing my bad health would go away overnight.

The MRWG meeting was last Sunday and fun was had by all – chocolate, chatter, laughter and writing stuff, of course.

Not much else to report.

Have fun!

Easter Fun

Hi All,

Easter has come and gone – too fast.



Lots of chocolates, hot cross buns, chocolates, family fun, chocolates and a fabulous Easter Egg hunt with my nieces.

Aren’t they SO cute!

Bye for now

Happy Easter!

Hi All,

Just popping in to say HAPPY EASTER to you all.

May the fluffy, hoppy critter bring you lots of scrumptious choccy eggs.

I can’t wait for Sunday when my gorgeous nieces will be here for our exciting Easter egg hunt. Will post photos later.

Have fun!

I'm Still Here...Just

Hi All,

Not much to say...

The days have flown, the fingers are tapping, the body still aching.

Apart from that, nothing newsworthy to report.

Bye for now.

A Week of Tears and Love

Today is the day of love..and don’t we all need it.

In case you’ve been in a time bubble, the past week has been one of horrific tragedy, senseless deaths and amazing heroism.

The massive fires in country Victoria have taken a harsh toll – not just on the growing number of deaths, but the hundreds of homes and businesses lost and thousands of acres of bushland burnt to a crisp.

I’ve spent most evenings crying over the newspaper or during the news telecast. My heart goes out to all those affected by this ferocious natural disaster.

We all can do our bit to help those unfortunate souls left homeless and destitute by the fires. As writers – and readers – we know the comfort and escapism a good book can provide during turbulent times. Now is no different.

If you have any spare books - romance, children's, genre books, whatever – either new or in sparkling condition, please send them to:

RWA Bushfire Book Appeal
c/- 89 Rennie St
Thornbury Vic 3071

Tomorrow, the wonderful ladies at the Melbourne Romance Writers Guild (MRWG) will be gathering their books and making a huge donation to those who need it.

I can’t believe another month has passed by and the meeting is here again. Where did the days go? Where did the goal of finishing my revisions disappear to? Oh well, there’s always next month.

It will be great to see the MRWG ladies and spend a few hours gas-bagging, celebrating our achievements with chocolate and most importantly, learning how to create a top-notch synopsis to blow our editors’ socks off!

Until then….have fun!

Plodding Along

A few weeks have passed and it’s the same old, same old.

Back to work and stair quotes. Back to writing and the Angel revisions (which are coming on nicely). Back to life in general.

Had the MRWG January meeting last Sunday, which went well. And we have new members appearing every month, which is fabulous.

And YAY to this long weekend for Australia Day. More relaxing time, more sleeping time and most important, MORE WRITING TIME!

Keep those fingers tapping.

Keeping Those Fingers Tapping

Hi All,

Just a quick hello before the craziness starts next week – back to work (YUK).

The holidays are over – sniff, sniff – and I only did a quarter of the things I wanted to. Including revising the Angel book.

But I put bum to seat and fingers to keyboard the past two days and added 8,500 words to the book.

Very happy with the progress and hoping to continue revisions this week before the Melbourne Romance Writers Guild (MRWG) first meeting for 2009.

Have fun!
Elvina
