Short and sweet

I've been asked to write a short story for an Irish magazine. Now it's been a very long time since I wrote a short story - probably way back in the days of school uniforms and not having the attention span past writing a few hundred words.
Now being more geared up for plotting over 100,000 of the buggers I'm finding it a little tough.
I'm currently on about draft 15 - this time a story about a red pair of shoes. And it feels a bit like an exam.
A big yay for anyone who manages to write short stories without feeling they are cutting themselves off before getting into full flow. I never realised just how hard it would be.

In other news, I'm now officially 12 weeks pregnant. Whoop Whoop! I'm hoping the sickness eases soon so that I can actually finish the edit on book three which has gone on the back burner due to my general sea-sicky type feelings each evening. Computers make me nauseous - not so good for a writer.
I'm now craving a massage as I seem to be carrying loads of tension in my neck and shoulders. I might just treat myself to one when I'm off in the next two weeks (or better still persuade La Husband to treat me to one - feels even more special then!). (Donna - if you're reading this by the way I will be touch soon about the lavender pack and oils! I promise).

And finally - FEELS LIKE MAYBE IS OUT THIS WEEK!!!
IT SHOULD BE IN THE SHOPS BY THE WEEKEND - AND SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ON THE POOLBEG WEBSITE AND AMAZON IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.
BUY EARLY AND BUY OFTEN!!
