And... rest.

It's finally done. "Heart of Ice" has been tidied up and sent to the editors of Haunted Legends. I'm really not sure it's what they're looking for, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see! if they do accept it (and, let's face it, the chances of that are vanishingly small), believe it or not, it'll be my first truly "professional" sale in a career lasting nearly twenty years thus far, at least according to the criteria of most overseas organisations. That's a scary thought!

And now I think I need a break from writing for a little while. Do some reading. Relax. Maybe sleep a little.

Sleep would be nice...

Ah sleep, I remember it fondly.

Excellent work on the writing. And with the other thing you've just finished, you've been doing heapsa stuff.

Is it an Aussie ghost story? If so, you might have a slightly better chance of selling it.

I considered doing a piece for it, but (with the exception of last tuesday's ten-minute tale) I'm not much of a ghost story writer.

Nope, Icelandic, actually. :)
