The aged

By Sade|2016-12-31T02:17:38+00:00July 30th, 2007|Press, Random|0 Comments

DJ,I'm definitely getting old. Went to a ball on Saturday thrown by an old Uni friend and I'm still recovering despite spending most of yesterday catching up on lost sleep. Gone are the days where I could party all night and still feel fit for action with 2hrs sleep. No, these days any all nighters I pull, I tend to spend the next couple of days being really grumpy and sleep deprived.It was great to catch up with my friends, sadly one person couldn't make it because there was no one to babysit her adorable boys. I was quite disappointed she couldn't make it, but I guess once you have babies, your life is no longer your own. You've got to finally join the ranks of the unselfish and enter the realms of adulthood. Scary. To think, 12 years ago I graduated from University. I had a certificate which told me [...]

Boredom and more

DJ,I feel like giving up on everything, I'm not even sure why I put myself under such pressure. I don't exactly feel like a failure, but I'm not brimming with success either.Still haven't heard back from Ruth over at Borders, I reckon she's had enough and is ignoring me. To get away from it all and live outside my own head I decided to go and see Shrek, I loved the 1st one, can't remember much about the 2nd and the 3rd I thought was a complete waste of my time. I'm still avoiding doing any real work. These days, I do all my writing in my head and it's fantastic. I can't remember what I've written and it's still the pesky opening paragraph. I reckon once I can get that straight in my head, then it'll be full steam ahead.Now I'm off to pretend. :-)

3rd Radio interview

By Sade|2007-07-24T13:47:00+00:00July 24th, 2007|Gardners, Press|0 Comments

DJI've now become obsessed with face book, not good.Anyway, the good news is that I've another radio interview set up for the 18th and this time the Producer has actually read the book. (Hooray) I'm going to be on Choice FMs Angie Lemar show, I'm a bag of nerves already. Although I don't get a chance to listen every Saturday, I quite like Angie's show. I'm hoping I manage to pull off my intellectual side, which comes out about... well actually, it's never come out. I'm soooooo boring that next to me a blank piece of paper looks interesting. Well, that's enough self-depreciation.Still not heard back from Ruth at Borders, methinks she's had enough of me. :-( I sent her an email asking her to get in touch with Gardners to let them know how many books they wanted to purchase. The idea is that, if Gardners have a firm [...]

Distraction, distractions

By Sade|2016-12-31T02:17:38+00:00July 23rd, 2007|Avoidance, New book|0 Comments

DJ, I'm still in avoidance mode. Went out and bought six great books which I intend to read. That doesn't exactly leave me with much time to get any work done. My excuse this time, is that I'm researching other writers styles. My reasoning is that, to be a great writer, I must also be a great reader. The likelyhood though is that I'll be doing more reading than writing. I just can't seem to get into starting this story. All the pieces are in my head, I know where the beginning middle and end. But I just can't seem to work out the opening paragraph. From past experience, I know that if I'm not happy with the first draft, then I get stuck with the same paragraph and the writhin doesn't seem to progress beyond the opening lines.As an added distraction, I've joined the facebook crowd and have now merrily spent [...]
