Post has begun on the new film

I've not been dedicated in keeping this blog up to date. Not because I've particularly been lazy, but mainly because I've been so busy, first with pre-production, then with filming and then with returning everything and finally with getting things back on an even keel. Today or I should say yesterday, seeing as it's 1am; I hit another milestone. YAY. I handed over the precious cargo that is my raw footage, to the editor. OMG, on one level I feel like a surrogate mother who has carried and nurtured a baby for nine months only to hand the child over to another mother once it has entered this world. Trying to find a suitable editor was a tricky process, I met five wonderful candidates who were willing to work on A Mother's Journey for very little pay and I really couldn't choose between them. Rather than flip a coin, it actually came [...]

A link I forgot to share

Life does take its twists and turns, within months of winning an award, I find myself presenting others with an award. What a difference 6 months makes, huh. I'm not complaining, I guess I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Follow the link for lots of lovely pics of grinning me. :-)I also now have a library page, thanks to the folks at Bexley Libraries. Once again, follow the link.

Procrastination is always a bitch

I've been lazy updating this blog. I really don't know how people find the dicipline to update their blogs every day.So what has been happening in the life of a struggling publisher/author. Well a lot, I had the bright idea of promoting Imagine This by joining some online book forums. The biggest mistake of my life, people are just plain vicious. Last night I didn't get a wink of sleep because I was reeling from the attack on my character by strangers who don't know me or my journey to get to where I am. According to Hazel, (a lady on the forum) the fact that I've managed to get 5 people to review my book on Amazon and they've given it 5 stars it's apparently highly suspicious and according to her unfair on the people who buy books. Oh my gosh, where have I been. I just read the above [...]

Self Obsession

By Sade|2016-12-31T02:17:37+00:00September 19th, 2007|Author readings, Self promotion|0 Comments

I'm definitely becoming self obsessed. I can't seem to stop googling myself to see if anything else pops up. It's like a sickness and I can't seem to find a cure. I have to at least google my name a minimum of six times a day, just in case I missed something the previous times I gazed glassy eyed at my monitor. Now I'm working on a system to gradually wean myself away from reviews and anything Imagine This related. It is hard, but I know I can survive. Already I'm beginning to feel the sharp withdrawal pains, but I shall resist.Maybe this is a mistake, instead of going cold turkey I should just cut the hours spent looking for myself in cyberspace down. On the other hand, if I hadn't been obsessively looking for a mention of my name, I would never have found this. You're no doubt wondering [...]
