Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 251: Writing!

Got tons done today.

Lots of blog posts, scheduling of tweets for Jane, an article for the newsletter ... words, words, words ...

Very satisfying.

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 230: Working at home

I actually got stuff done but this is FUNNY ...

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 257

My gorgeous guy was so excited for me - he didn't want me checking out the story till he could see it with me (I couldn't resist though on Wednesday looking it over!) - and is my biggest and most enthusiastic cheerleader and I adore him for it.

So supportive is he that he came straight over after driving 3 hours from Bathurst and had dinner with me at Sherpa's Kitchen in Newtown with a delicious Tempus Two Cabernet Merlot and paid for the whole thing as a way of celebrating with me.

I love him to bits. He is what makes these achievements have any lasting worth.

I was trying to remember the name of a friend's baby daughter hence all the pondering looks for me and Steve (above)

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 256 - Latte part 2

Rose, who I work with, raced home to get her copy in lieu of bulk copies turning up, and I got to hold the magazine in my hand, and look at the story all beautifully laid out.

EXCITING!!

And naturally I tweeted to the world about it.

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 255 - Latte part 1

Exciting day. Saw my first glimpse of the cover for latest edition of Latte, the cover story for which on Tara Moss was written by me.

So excited! My first major feature story is a cover story on a major celebrity.

And to top it all, lovely Bec from the organisation that publishes the magazine paid me this wonderful compliment:

Colour me grinning from ear to ear.

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 39 - Great night at Spiders group!

I finally made it to my writers group tonight!

They had already met twice this year but thanks to having to meet with my insurer on one Wednesday and Open Air Cinema tickets on the next, this was the night I made and it was so good to see everyone! I'd missed them. I had lovely long involved chats with Nick, Kris, Selina, and Jacq who, it turns out, loves much of the same music I do! 

I even wrote the first 680 words of a story I had no intention of writing when I got there but which flowed out of me during the 1/2 hour quiet writing time between 7 and 7.30.

The only slight problem was Cityrail delaying my train by 15 minutes but I made it home in time for Outland, a new ABC comedy about gay sic-fi nerds which I adored. (My review is here.)

Oh and the photo is of Circular Quay and the Harbour which frankly made the longer than expected wait at Circular Quay station a whole lot more bearable.

Hands Full of Glitter and Tofu : 2011 Day 271 - Spiders group!

Off to my writing group tonight, spidersgroup, so named because someone's mother misheard the name one day, and as usual, little writing will be done. We will, however, talk about all manner of pop culture fun, I'll announce my big news, eat over priced food at City Extra, and go down then to sleep.

They are an awesome bunch of people, and it's fun whenever I see them. I expect tonight to be no different!
