It's good to see also that you are doing a 'Flick' of sorts, by way of organizing your many projects, which I'm sure will be enthusiastically accepted by your target audience however you manage to produce/market them. It's only a matter of time before your great stories are out there - and I for one know you will do it, your determination comes through in your writing. May the force be with you. xGill Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452007830047755429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552513237124348566.post-40646291568811811972013-10-13T15:13:58.660+01:002013-10-13T15:13:58.660+01:00Amarnik - hoping to publish a book of seven short ...Amarnik - hoping to publish a book of seven short stories for children, all about a character called Granny Rainbow. (One is reproduced after appearing in 'Reading is Magic', so it's six new stories). Working on submitting a full-length novel to agents before the end of the year, then two storylines in progress at the moment. <br />Fingers crossed Granny should be published before teh end of this year - watch this space!Katherine Hetzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558829833528787055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552513237124348566.post-71760663400486028642013-10-13T15:11:38.533+01:002013-10-13T15:11:38.533+01:00Hi Veronica - thanks for dropping by!

Amazing how that works. Good for you. Do you think it has something to do with the subconscious? Sometimes I do. You know, like planting some idea in the sub and then leaving it there to grow. Who knows, and, it doesn't really matter, as long as we keep moving in the direction of what we want out of life. :) I'm visiting from UBC, and, I also live in England, in OXON, but only for about half of the year. :) Nice to meet you.
