I SURRENDER!

I am waving a white flag! I give in.

I can't write this blog regularly as I want to, continue writing the book I'm loving, make a few changes to the book I'm submitting (Note to self - this should NOT need to happen), plan for Christmas and have a bloody cold.

So. It is from my snotty rag ridden lap, I'm writing a plan. Yay! Back to lists and stuff! Organising myself. Hello organisation, I've missed you. Welcome back. As some wise man somewhere once said "FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL..."

This is what this week looks like in the notes on my lap:

Monday: Tesco run(buy box of tissues), Write 3000 words, Put washing on. Now that doesn't sound too taxing does it?

Tuesday : Ironing, make healthy dinner as you won' have eaten properly on Monday as it wasn't in the plan. Write 3000 words.

Wednesday : Print off complete copy of 'PLUMB CRAZY' and read through it (again) before sending out a few submissions. Update submission plan! Make any necessary changes and send it by email to... I could tell you but I'd have to kill you. Write blog post for Strictly Writing.

Thursday : Travel home from London. Dentist 12:30. Maybe cancel dentist?! Afternoon - catch up on home housework and write 1000 words.

Friday : Submit PC to two agents, blog here and write 2000 words. Do shopping for book club dinner tomorrow.

In short the plan is, in between imitating Bree VAn De Kamp, I'm going to imitate Marion Keyes.

Great.

White flag is folded and put away. I've blogged already and will do so again on Wednesday and Friday. I will have enough tissues to deal with cold following Tesco run later today. And apparently I'll have added 9000 words to the word count of my WIP by Friday.

Right. Christmas planning, it seems, may have to wait until next week?
