I get very fidgety when I've no book to work on. I know I have 400 pages of Lil to edit but I just can't face it at the moment - and besides, everyone says it's a Good Thing to leave the ms for a few days at least before going back to it. Sooo... sounds good to me!
The problem is, I can't physically stay away from the computer for any length of time. So instead of resting my poor eyes what have I been doing?
Well aside from revamping my blog and tidying up my webpage (and chatting to witches via msn which I don't think counts unless we call it... oh yes I've got it - brainstorming!) I've only gone and got a MySpace page. And this was after saying, as late as Saturday morning, that I didn't think it was worth me doing one until I actually had, well you know - a book to promote or something?!
But as the witches will attest, no sooner do I say that I could never do this, or can't ever see myself doing that... off I go and do it. Three years ago I knew I could never write a novel that was longer than 50k - six months later I wrote one that came in at 80k. Two years ago I baulked at the thought of writing in first person - a year later I'd written three in first person present tense. Though I suppose that does mean I'm open to trying new things!
But - back to the MySpace page. OMG. I love it. My youngest daughter, who is a total computer whiz, fixed it up for me last night. Oh, my slide show. I keep having to hop on just to gaze in total rapt delight at the hunks. Especially the divine Hugh Jackman (who my daughter accidently named Huge Jackman at first hahahah I nearly didn't get her to change that!)

Your page is totally awesome!!!! I'm seriously impressed.
So, where to next, I wonder........
I think I want that pic of Hugh as my screensaver!
I know someone who referred to him as Jack Human! He must have that kind of name.
lol Kathryn! Too funny. That reminds me how hot he is as Wolverine but I still prefer his pic I have on the MySpace page!
You MySpace page is really cool--even though I don't really 'get' MySpace yet. Is it just leaving comments and having 'friends' link up to you? Nice pictures ;)
Glad to see another person writing in first person, present. I read Adriana Trigiani's books and thought, how breezy and easy to read they were. I wanted to try it...and now I am.
Thanks Alyssa. My daughters helped me navigate MySpace since I didn't have a clue! I think it's another way to get your name out there, plus it is fun (and addictive oops!)
