Em's Turn.

I'm gonna be out today at the hospital with my mum while she has her second cataract operation done. At least this is the last one.

So I thought I would play you some pretty music before I go just because I can.

All these songs are how I feel about my Taxes - LOL - no seriously I hope you enjoy them all.

So The Story Goes...

I'm A Slacker But This Time It's Not My Fault.

This is what I have been up to since I last blogged - TAXES... I'm going back and starting from July 2011 and doing up until June 2013 - even though I did do my taxes (BASS) during this time frame - mistakes were made and now I have to redo them all. Especially the stuff I am allowed to claim because apparently I never claimed nearly enough of what I could have. So at the moment I am up to April 2012.

Mum's second cataract operation is now this Friday (May 3rd). and I will be at the hospital all that day. 

I got up this morning and among all my wild birds there is one lone pigeon - the poor thing looks so out of place amongst the galahs, parrots, cockatoos and ducks.

Reviews & Other News...

Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books

I will let you decide whether you agree or disagree - I think this is awesome.

OTHER NEWS:

Well honestly, I haven't been doing much as most of my time lately has been spent getting stuff together for the Tax man and trying to organise my ITIN number (which is apparently important if you live outside of the USA and are an author). So if by any chance you're an author and this applies to you for all USA publishers... then I would say you better get one organised.

I also got all the way to the hospital on Wednesday and had no sooner sat down when we found out mum's cataract operation had been cancelled due to a high list of emergency patients. So now we will have to wait until sometime in May before we hear when we're to go again.

Then to top off a very hectic week; a truck drove past me and threw up a rock and chipped my wind screen so now I have the repair guy coming out to tell me if I can repair it or if the whole thing needs replacing.

Em's Turn...

Four songs just because I like them.

I hope you like them as well.

SPAM Inc...

OMG - I woke up this morning and I had IM over at Yahoo and while I have it I am taking full advantage of the whole thing and talking to Embry Carlysle - Today we are discussing SPAM Inc... and how to get it off the ground so to speak. Over the course of the year we've been planning this universe out, we've made many changes... Taken breaks from it to write other stuff, but we always come back to this series. I finally think we are getting somewhere. 

Now of course you would have to ask Embry her thoughts on this whole series, but I dare say she will tell you I'm driving her nuts (I can be a tad bossy - or so I've heard). Not in the whole - 'you will do it my way or no way at all' - but in the pushing in getting shit talked about and sorted out.

I've also been finding lots of pictures of how I think the universe should look so each realm although connected is distinctly different... Embry is going to go through them at some stage soon and let me know which ones she agrees with and which ones she doesn't like.

So that is basically what me and Embry have been doing today in between our other writing projects.

Today I am...

After being away yesterday - The tax man waits for no one. (No seriously, I had a meeting with my new accountant who looks an awful lot like the girl who plays Wanda/Melanie in The Host). Things are finally looking up for a change even if I do have to keep paying the ATO - LOL.

Anyway, I've started on chapter nine in TLOM: Living in Shadows...  and I hope to have a clear writing schedule for the future - I'm almost halfway there.

I still haven't heard back on Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse... actually I never got an email confirming it reached KB - I better email her because my net probably ate the damn thing, it's been playing up. (I've had no IM over at Yahoo for nearly two months now... won't even bring up my contacts list).

On that note, I will away, because I have shit-loads to do and not enough time to do it all... But you all have days like that. Catch you all tomorrow.
