I’m still prodding and poking at that short story that wants to become a chapter in my novel, but I think I’ll give up on it. I’m just not a short story writer.

Estella - yes, he has made a great impact both here and overseas.

Bailey - sounds like you have some great reading lined up!

Christina - good luck with the editing. I’ve never really watched Battlestar Galactica. I should since I’m a sci-fi fan.

Good luck with your Samhain sub, Shel!

I’m spending this weekend editing my para and watching Series 3 of Battlestar Galactica (I’m addicted, what can I say?!)

I hadn’t heard about his passing - how sad. Thanks for informing me.

This weekend I’ll be writing a review of Strong and Sexy by Jill Shalvis (great book) and finishing reading Sex and the Psychic Witch by Annette Blair (so far another great read).

I read about Sir Edmund on the internet. What a great person.

Shelley Bradley’s Storyboarding course is really good. I highly recommend writers try it out, especially if you’re struggling to find a method that works for you. I’m finding it difficult but it’s helped me focus and discover a problem with my story idea up front.

Sir Edmund Hillary made a huge impact on all of us here in NZ and of course Nepal. Until his death, he was the only living New Zealander to feature on our money. He is on our five-dollar note.

Thanks for the good luck wishes for my Samhain sub. I know the competition will be tough but figure I have a story I can submit elsewhere if I’m not successful.

Jane - have fun shopping!!

It was great to hear that Sir Edmund was a real gentleman and that he wouldn’t confirm that he was the first on Everest until Tenzing Norgay passed away.

I’ll be doing more shopping this weekend. The sales are getting better.

Very sad about Sir Ed. I thought of you and Amy when I read about his passing.

And congrats on the submission to Samhain! Fingers crossed for you.

I’d heard about Sir Edmund, but I didn’t know he was from over there! I really really hope you get into the Samhain antho. They’re a fantastic publisher to work with.

And thanks for reading my book I hope you enjoy it. I have Lauren’s on my TBR list. I buy and stock up, and then read in spurts. Hmm that sounded attractive.
