finished! Yay!
Mood:  happy
Topic: what I'm up to

Hello out there in the real world! Hooray, I've finished Kip. All pages accounted for and after a 'laying out party' last week (that's where I lay all the pages of the book out on the loungeroom floor and check for consistency etc) I have tweaked the tweakable, re-done the redo-able and now I am stretching the paper ready to send it off to the publishers. I'm really happy with all of it but especially the cover!

The rule is that I have to tidy the studio when I finish a book. It gets so buried in paper and tissues (water colour painters really should take out shares in tissue factories) that it is a necessity! I find the most amazing things when I tidy up.....

No news on the manuscript yet. My agent is on holidays so it will have to wait until she returns. Oh well. Garden, here I come!

Hope you're all enjoying the spring weather.

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!
