      Weens Couldn't you find a quiet corner in the garden. I'm sat on my patio, which is thankfully in the shade, with laptop on my knee. Feels great to work outside..

    Filling out my calendar took me a good few hours, it's not colour coded yet though that sounds like a good procrastination. How do you do a join the dots list?

    And the colouring in? I was always ever so good at colouring in revision timetables. Sometimes the colouring in took all evening :)

    Kate7 wrote a new blog: "Deadlines".
    At the moment I feel like my life is made up of a series of deadlines. Deadlines for short stories, deadlines for finishing a big edit of my MS, deadlines for my driving theory and deadlines for my master’s dissertation. Deadlines, Deadlines, ...

About

I am a small noisy creature with a penchant for reading/writing, drawing, and photography.

I recently attended Aberystwyth University for 4 years and left with a law degree and post graduate diploma in legal practice which I’m hoping to upgrade to a Masters in 2012. I now spend my week days working as a paralegal and absolutely love it.

I have got three main novels on the ‘go’ at the moment, although I am trying to focus on them one at a time. However I struggle if I only have one project going so I’m also entering random writing competitions, and working on one or two fan related projects.

I have a small orange kitty called Mikho who is absolutely no help what so ever.

I am still eccentric and highly contagious.

    You're welcome (for the legal suggestion). You'll see I've already posted one on your blog to kick it off. Hope it's not too onerous for you - feel free to duck out, as I truly don't know how hard it is to answer. Well, I know I've struggled - but then I don't have the legal background.

    Hey hun... can I get back to you on that one?! Writing just isn't happening all that much right now - Emily has decided yet again that she only needs to sleep for 3 hours at a time, and it is quite literally killing me. I'm being a little naughty and spending time I should be writing playing games (Dirge of Cerberus last night, for all the wrong reasons... XD) - it seems shooting things helps... (As hubby said last night, all he could hear me muttering was 'run, little man! Run and kill stuff. Die! Die! DIE!'. Being tired makes me grumpy, and being grumpy makes me want to smash stuff, so I figure its better to get Vincent / Lara / Kain / Raziel to run around smashing stuff for me than for me to actually do it myself. Cheaper, too).

    I hope you're faring rather better!

    Wow, Kate - just came down to log off and took one last look here... you've been busy! I can't believe you read all of Black Smokers so far - thank you! I'll get back to your feedback in the morning - I can barely keep the old eyes open right now (would've gone to bed half an hour ago, but new Criminal Minds was on... ^^D). Thanks again!! xx

    Will do - let me get the kids settled, and hopefully they'll give me a few mins later so I can do what I want to do! xx

    I finished my accounting and law degree in 1997... I went into accountancy originally, then retrained as a secondary school maths teacher 2 years later...having been out of the job market for 9 years (3 children later...), it seems like a long time ago. This site is full of teachers and mixed professions...mostly educated I'd say...anyway, you sound like you have enough qualifications... Apply for jobs, you never know... :)
