Distractions...

I have been too distracted by many things to blog recently. Here's just 5 good reasons...

1. Got very giddy and did some typing in Chorlton - more in this post

2. Got slightly giddy and met, fantasy writer Mike Carey (X-Men, Lucifer) in Liverpool whilst coming second in the WOW Flash Fiction contest

3. Got beaten by convicts in Liverpool - I don't mean physically beaten, I mean in the Pulp Idol competition - two of the heat winners from Walton Prison ended up in the top three because they had 'raw talent' - not what I thought a competition for novelists to get published was about, but there you go. Although, on the plus side, whilst jesting on Twitter with a fellow finalist, I inadvertently started #fightingwriters 'trending'... now if we could just harness the power

4. Got 'down, down' in the mud with Status Quo at (or rather, near) Speke Hall, Liverpool

5. Got an iPad!!  Woo hoo!  More on this, inevitably, in future posts.

    Wow, you really have been saying yes to a lot of things! Those sounds like 5 excellent distractions. Congratulations on winning the contest, and on everything else you've been up to recently!

      Thanks! It has all been a bit manic, though. Quieter week this week>>>

    Hubby loves his ipad so much I can't even pry it from him. Apple users are obviously very territorial.

      TOTALLY addictive... I'm going to have to ration myself... I've gone app-crazy!

      Yes, but it's not getting the book / poetry collection / limerick written is it? 8-)

    Did you have your Mac with you, for the Status Quo gig?

      If I'd had my Apple and my Blackberry I could have made a pie!

    Your reasons for not blogging are far better (and more interesting) than mine! Congratulations on both winning and the iPad - MrL bought himself one and I am slowly being sucked into MacLand....

    EVERYone I know has an ipad except me. The pressure is so great. Well done on all your successes. Shame about being beaten by convincts, although it's probably not the worst way in which you could be beaten by convicts.
