Ten Commandments for the Happy Writer

March 19, 2009

I have to thank Rosy Thornton for pointing me in the direction of Nathan Bransford’s blog and to the post on Ten Commandments for the Happy Writer.

IMO, Nathan is not only wise, he’s gorgeous. His post has helped me put a few things in perspective and focus on what really matters to me.

My daugher is back from uni and I’m sorry but going to have an Absurdly Proud Mum Moment. She’s managed to get a very sought after (and funded!) Phd place to do scientific research. God knows how I bred a scientist as technically, I probably fall below Gov’t numeracy standards! Mr B can add up though. 🙂

Most important, just having Miss B back here at home for a few weeks has helped me get things into perspective.

Take particular note of commandment 4 – and drool over Nathan while you’re at it. 🙂

PS No. I still haven’t finished the book.

   Enjoy yourself with Miss B, she sounds incredibly clever, I’m not surprised you’re proud of her.
