Like working...

But, really, why would I do that? The sun is shining, I am pretty much up to date work-wise and, quite frankly, I just don't feel inclined to dredge up something so that I can pretend to be busy.

So, a little bit about myself is required I suppose. I live in Oxfordshire with my husband and no dogs. My day job is a run of the mill office job but my dream is to be a writer. I have a finished novel, which I am currently editing, and am a co-founder of the Abingdon Writers.

The Abingdon Writers are a wonderful group of aspiring writers who critique each others' work - I am always astounded by their insightful comments and suggestions and, more often than not, feel more than a little humbled by the quality of writing they produce. I write romantic comedy so can feel a little inferior in amongst the contemporary and historical writers. Still, it's all good practice for the reams of rejections that will come my way when I'm finally brave enough to send my work out to agents.

So, when I say I'll be procrastinating here - it will mostly be from work or from writing/editing. And from something else, but more about that tomorrow maybe.
