I am sure there are one or three cat lovers out there. Just sitting here reading through my written work from yesterday and my little old black cat scrambles up the edge of the couch and climbs into my lap. Not so strange you may wonder.... She is 24 and still running around like a kitten. She looks a little crumpled around the edges and is a little deaf, but honestly, I don't think she understands she is old. Life lesson in there some place I think *Smile*

The old grey haired man in the mirror kept telling me I was old. I through out the mirror!

Non writing post but for the mechanically minded here I just finished my rebuild project of an M3 BMW. Done, and took me a few years to do. Nothing special just a 2008 model but good God she is quick *Smile*
So, onto the next project. eyeing an M5 to work on next.

Nooooooooooooo!

Once in Ryan David's City Author Icon - Classic movie *Smile* My little car is a V8 M sport hahaha. Scary quick and hard to find these days unless you are willing to rebuild one and sink stupid amounts of money into it. Well in New Zealand that is as there were never that many exported here.
Tap, tap, tap... sounds of blowing on a microphone... is this thing on.

Well, this year has been an utter mess. Missed NaNo thanks to fighting to keep my job, but I did for now along with my faculty. If you were wondering where I was, I sadly had to focus on all of that for a while. But at last, I come to the end of the academic year and just finishing up marking so I can take a good long break from it all.

Oddly enough I did manage to get some writing work done, and the cover for the coming book is almost finished. But my focus has really been on getting through the review and holding onto my income along with my fellow teachers around me. Honestly, and this may sound biased, but teachers are really undervalued in what they do.

Anyway, I hope you have all been well, and I have very much missed taking time out to post in this community.

So, coming tasks.... Finish edit run number eight addressing some minor editors feedback, get the format stuff finished then put this thing to bed. Get website finished and published. Send formatted draft off to get test print done.... And well, you all know the process.
God, I was so naive when I started out trying to be a writer, but I have learnt so much and looking back at my first draft work improved immensely.

Missed you all and glad to be back with a summer of writing in front of me.

You have been more productive than many of us despite leading a hectic lifestyle so that is commendable. Give yourself a pat on the back. Well-deserved.
Elfycia Lee ☮ Author Icon - Thanks Elycia, I have missed yours and Vicki's support. There were quite a few times I wondered how you were both doing, and I should have just messaged.
StoneHeart Author Icon - It's okay. My inbox is full all the time. I could have missed it. We are saying hello now. *Smile*

I think I will place this week among the messiest I have ever had to deal with... Seems I could lose my teaching job thanks to education changes and shuffling. Previous government made quite the mess of the education system, and we got a shock announcement on Monday morning that has had me dealing with the fall out all week.

We just roll with the punches I guess.... Anyway, it made a mess of the NaNo prep as that had to be pushed aside for more pressing issues *Frown*
Either way I will still write for the NaNo month as I planned to anyway and have quite the pile of prep sorted to do so.

StoneHeart Author Icon - Wow. Not easy being the union rep. People are counting on you. Big pressure. I hope things get sorted out. The ones suffering from all these are the students unfortunately. Teachers no doubt, but yeah, students too.

Congratulations to your friend! That is awesome news!
Elfycia Lee ☮ Author Icon - Emma has been a good mentor and sounding board to bounce ideas off and give me guidance as I take my first wobbly steps into the world of writing.

Anyway, how have you been? Sorry I was so absent but work just took my life over and I am close to getting book one published myself. March 2025 is the pencil date *Smile*
StoneHeart Author Icon - It's okay. I'm actually on vacation now and I should really get out of this hotel room, but as you can see, I'm on WDC. Clearly addicted... and it's birthday week so I'm pretty busy. *Laugh* And also missing the deadlines of stuff I wanna join because... I'm supposed to be on vacation.
Happy Teacher's Day, belated. Miss you around here. Will it quiet down in the summer or do you teach year round?
