Real life, Earthquakes
Mar. 11th, 2011 04:52 pmWoke up to find out about the earthquake in the Pacific Rim. Bloody hell, this year has already been such a terrible one, full of upheaval across the globe. It's only a matter of time before it comes here. All I feel I can do is donate to charities and hope that my little contribution can make a difference, however slight.
I need to make a decision re a possible migration to Projection. I'd never really imagined myself as a projectionist and it would only be part time, meaning I would still be working downstairs for a bit of the time. However I do need a change and it's about time I learnt some new skills job-wise. I think I am just scared of failing but I can't allow myself to be stuck in the same job for 5+ years. It would a major change to my routine and my life but it might be a bit more money. Not much, but a bit.
I would like to sort out this draft of 'Songbirds' Ideally I wanted to the book to be 90k-100k but with the amount of plot I still have to tackle I'm not sure that it's going to work out. I did come out with some good bits for some productions and flashbacks so you understand the characters a bit better.
I really do need to get this finished before I tackle the sequel for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
novel_bigbang this year. I really want to do this and then Nano if possible. If I can manage to get it sorted perhaps I could submit it to Avon Romance Impulse which is a new mostly e-book line. As long as I can boost the Flora/Rob romance it might just work. I don't know how they'll feel about Tom though. I hope it wouldn't be a major issue. Once I've finished I need to start submitting, but I really need some proper readers first. I worry about whether I am ready to submit work. Maybe I'm not.
