Stolen fron ridiculously funny Myrte at "Doing the Compossible"

Best Writing Moment:

Seeing Book One (Rainy Days and Tuesdays) in print and in a proper shop with other books in and everything.

Best Reason To Give It All Up:

Cecelia Ahern and "A Place Called Here" or whatever the bejaysus it was called. Now Cecelia seems lovely and is hugely successful, but for me this was the worst case of the Emperors New Clothes we have seen in the chick lit market this fine year.

Best One-Liner, Guaranteed To Cheer Self When Writing Career Goes Tits-Up:

Courtesy of the soon to be hugely famous Fionnuala from WriteWords "Chin up, Tummy in and tits out"

Best One-Liner By A Blood Relative:

The boy rapping in an Ali G stylee... (See pic) "Let's go to Bethlehem to see the baby Jesus"

The boy telling me I was his hero and the best fire fighter in the world . (?)
