Moving On

My head seems to be constantly spinning these days, watching christmas come and go. I can see it coming over the hill right now like some tinsle covered monster. It's next year that's going to be weird. There's a line up of weddings coming. Ever wondered where your friends meet these people? They step out of your life for a few months or even a year or so, and they come back with this other person attached to them. I have a theory that there is a factory somewhere. People get called there like jury service and get a partner assigned to them.
My old friend Lee is next. Lee was my Editor when I worked on a comic magazine quite a while ago. We drank a lot in those days and felt sure that we wouldn't end up tied up in the constraints of real life. As I'm nearly at the end of a new book based on the adventures of lots of people I've known, I'm looking back and realising what a great time I've had so far. There are always new adventures to be had too, just round the corner.
Lately I've been working on a short story for a magazine, and of course the latest book. I'm still rewriting my historical novel- which I still have high hopes for as being my first published novel. I've had it rejected twice so far, but I won't give up.
I've been spending a lot of time with a female friend and her five year old daughter, trying to do the parental sort of thing. I've been enjoying it and it's left me with a need to do it for real one day.
My flat mate's band- THE CRAVING- have been playing various gigs round Plymouth, so try and see them if you're ever in town- they're damn good. I did a review for them in the Plymouth Evening Herald a little while ago.
So life isn't bad at the moment. Now I'm going to go and write some more, becuase that's what I do.
Bye
