Today, yesterday and a train ride...

Well I guess its time to blog, I don't think I have mentioned prior that my publishers fell through, they wasn't what I wanted. But I'm on the scout for another. I've started thinking about how much this is going to cost me, quite worried actually. I mean I have been so excited about it being finished and binded and official that I hadn't thought about the coatings of it all, I have considered it but not as much as I should have. Yet, I am still motivated and want to follow through and see where I end up. Other than that, my proofing is going well, with a lot on my mind at the moment I haven't really got too far with it, I need to be calm and motivated to proof and recently I seem to have been up all over the place. I have a really odd dream last night about leaving my guitar on a beach, like who on earth would you forget a guitar. Ha! I travelled on a train recently of which I feel is a perfect place to start writing, I was influenced by something I saw on one of the platforms, which was a young woman, sat on her own in the dark; and I just started writing, the entry that I wrote on the train is the blog post prior this this one. I had been out for dinner with a friend, and I was calm and happy so I just started to write... A fabulous environment to write is a quirt train at about 11pm. Again this entry will just be one that maybe leads to know where as it has not got an awful lot of context with in, but I do feel happy with some of the imagery portrayed. Anyways, so being away from uni and not having deadlines and essay pressures I really have had the time to do things, like my novel but also pick up the guitar again. As cliche as it sounds, life happened when I started uni and I let the guitar go after not having time for it but now, I have really enjoyed picking it up again, welcoming back the sore fingers.
I must be honest with myself more, I don't think I had thought about how difficult it was going to be to publish, I'm starting to think that its going to take a lot longer than I had expected. It'll be good though, I will one day I'm sure. SMILE!
Anyway, to stop me babbling...

Much love x
