| Started typing the whole novel out from scratch and it's helping make it 'cleaner'. Makes me check if the sentence deserves to be there. | |

Just opening my ms now. I'm buggered and so sick of it. So sick of this year. I want it to end already and summer to come. I just can't face editing this book. Can't face reading it again. I can't tell you how over it I am. But I know I have to do it. Starting tomorrow 6:30 am. I think I need a routine, one I'll stick to. 6:30 – 9:00am Writing (include mind dump) Eat breakfast and tidy up 9:30am Yoga That's about all I can come up with for now. Will work more on this tomorrow. |

| Long conversation with my agent yesterday – all very, very positive. Annette may not be the right publisher for this novel. Grace already has a few other people in mind, who'd love it, she said. That's what I want, not someone who's ambivalent. I also have a few months to re-draft it, as she won't send it out until next year because NSW are doing it so tough at the moment. So feeling much more upbeat. Grace thinks this could be a good thing. So do I. | |

| A bit of a side swipe yesterday – my publisher doesn't think my book is ready to take to Acquisitions, so still work to do on it. Also feedback from a writer friend, which has given me clarity. I know what I have to do – what needs to go and what needs more. Onwards! | |
