THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED

I was chatting with Penny Brandon and said that if I managed a certain word count every day - I think it was 2,138, then I could write 20 (40K) Novellas, and 2 (100K) Novels in 2016... so now that I have opened my big mouth the challenge has been set. I have no clue what order I will work on said books but I am going to give it one hell of a shot... Here is the list of stories I will choose from I've added the length and if I've done any work on them... This way everyone can keep an eye on me.

Houston, We Had A Problem...

Once again I've had to have my Surface Pro 3 fixed... This time around the Outlook email which my bigpond.com email is with decided to wipe itself out and leave me with nothing but a data file where I could receive emails but not reply to them... Totally sucked I can tell you...but $55 later and I'm back in business thanks to the lovely people at CUBE Computers in Gatton.

Onto Other things: I still haven't received Galley on The Lines Of Marsden 3: You Make Me Die In Pieces... hopefully someone from the MLRPress formatting department will get them to me soon 15 days and counting to release date.

Also I've been keeping on track with the project of getting my last 4 books finished for 2015 all up there will be approximately 210,000K written... So I'm limiting my time on all social media until December 31st.

RANT ON!

Okay, so I bought a complete series of 7 ebooks which cost me $80.41 (Australian) from somewhere, (I won't say where as I don't want to start a war on anyone, because that would annoy me even more. Mob mentality sucks, and I don't want to be the cause of any kind of witch-hunt). Now, getting back to what I was saying... when I went to download this series I couldn't unless I was linked to the UK Amazon...But alas I'm with Australian Amazon, and if I downloaded straight to my computer then it would only download in epub... So doing the right thing I contacted the company and asked what I could do. They told me to download Kindle Previewer... so I did, and weirdly it won't open up to fill the page so I can only see the small box where you can hardly read what's written there. Anyway I tried to open the epub book in there it would even register I have an epub book on my computer. So I'm basically still screwed to ever reading these books, (at least I still have them in paper back so I can read them that way). So after swearing for a few minutes I ended up going back into the website and cancelling my order.

RANT OVER!

OMG...OMG...OMG...

Yes those were the exact words--plus a few choice swear words thrown in--I said when I dropped a loaf of frozen bread on my left foot from the top shelf of the freezer... that happened at 9:30 am and it's now almost 4 pm. and my foot is still killing me. I can stand on it and walk. I can even wiggle my toes, but my god I feel like I have a super bad burning like hell case of pins and needles... the fricken thing is still aching. Hopefully tomorrow (fingers crossed) will be a better day...

What's Going On...

I'm one of those people who always forgets important things... like passwords, dates, names etc... Hence the reason I have a note book called THE BOOK OF IMPORTANT SHIT I write everything in it so the family never forgets... Yet the one thing I needed today I had no clue what my user name, membership ID, or my password was. I had to end up tracking down the guy who signed me up in the first place to see if he could help me out... Lucky for me it worked. So I have now included it in TBOIS.

Also I got the kids up at the arse-crack of dawn, while it was still cool and made them help me in the garden... we had to weed and lay sugar cane mulch in it. I can tell you it looks way better now. I think I might have to go out and take a picture of it...HOLD ON...I'LL BE BACK IN A TICK... 
















Okay now I'll be able to look back on these pics in the months to come and see how much the plant life has grown... As you can probably guess living in SE Queensland; Australia I've had to plant out drought resistant plants as Summer in my neck of the world is Hotter than hell. well that's what's going on in my life today.
