I'm such a procrastinator sometimes...<BR/><BR/>That's great news about the poetry! Here's hoping you get published in 2010! It's true, you just have to keep plugging away at these things...<BR/><BR/>Thanks lots for the positive affirmation!<BR/><BR/>OC xxOld Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-72591200338627007452008-04-18T15:42:00.000+01:002008-04-18T15:42:00.000+01:00but I just got here!no i totally understand, being...but I just got here!<BR/><BR/>no i totally understand, being a writer-wannabe myself! i say go for it! finish it off, submit it, and then tour the world! that's my plan at least...<BR/><BR/>coincidentally, i just got a letter from a publishing house to which i submitted a poetry manuscript a few months ago. they said they had already picked their books out for this year but that they wanted to keep me for consideration for 2010! woo hoo, at least it wasn't a full-on rejection, right?! anyway, if i can do it, u can do it!! <BR/><BR/>best of luck and happy part-timing!Brand New Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420973319572953620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-50887598161717369362008-04-18T13:09:00.000+01:002008-04-18T13:09:00.000+01:00Hi everyoneSorry for the delay in reply but thank ...Hi everyone<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the delay in reply but thank you very much for your comments!<BR/><BR/>Reluctant - No problem, you can comment whether you're a "regular" or not and it's appreciated! <BR/><BR/>Maybe you're right about imagining what our readers think but the sense of duty is there nevertheless...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the good wishes!<BR/><BR/>Steve - Well I'm not going away entirely - just don't have the time to be as regular as I used to be! And everything you say makes perfect sense - a man in the know! I shall have to make my select postings highly savourable then! (Not to say saucy, succulenet and sensational...)<BR/><BR/>Deemer - Thanks - yes you're right, time to start submitting my stuff to publishers etc. I hope 39 is indeed my year!<BR/><BR/>Matty - True, I can try to quick updates, the problem is that "quick" doesn't seem to be a word in my vernacular!!<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear that you're enjoying Torchwood! I can kind of understand why you'd enjoy it more and of course the boys kissing boys is a definite plus...Don't think it went much further than that though *growl*<BR/><BR/>Tim - Thank you. You're right of course, in our case, DW always generates interesting discussions!<BR/><BR/>And getting promoted / marketed in the right way can help, true enough.<BR/><BR/>And WHO knows, I will of course be back, back, BACK!! (Ha ha)<BR/><BR/>Amanda - Thanks m'dear! Of course you do have some DW catching up to do. Time for you to write a post on the sci-fi prog! Or how about get one of your lovely kiddies to write a review?!<BR/><BR/>Nora - Awww, ha ha! I'd love you to come and dust my accoutrements and thanks for the offer. I thought that was Hilda Ogden's job though?Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-32842195206455828702008-04-16T21:51:00.000+01:002008-04-16T21:51:00.000+01:00I'll still pop in for a look around and dust for y...I'll still pop in for a look around and dust for you.Glenda Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366238040782331941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-52788621906695902042008-04-15T07:27:00.000+01:002008-04-15T07:27:00.000+01:00That should give me time to catch up on Dr Who, da...That should give me time to catch up on Dr Who, darling!!

There's no denying it's tough getting your name on the cover of a book, and onto the shelves of all good stockists, not to mention shifting copies once you have! An agent, other than 007, and a good marketing man can help immensely!!<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading future posts, especially on all eras of "Doctor Who", as they always make for interesting discussions even though they can sometimes be time consuming to write! But, I'm sure that one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, you'll be back, Back, BACK!!!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-25761874273195856102008-04-15T02:11:00.000+01:002008-04-15T02:11:00.000+01:00Oh, no!!!!Well, we all have to take breaks from bl...Oh, no!!!!<BR/><BR/>Well, we all have to take breaks from blogging -- I hope this is just a break. <BR/><BR/>You know you can just do quick updates as we like to know what is going on in the life Old Cool Cheeser! <BR/><BR/>(I watched the first two episodes of Torchwood last night! ...I have to say I rather enjoyed them! I think I prefer it to Dr. Who! ...Don't get mad at me! But, it has cute boys who kiss each other! ...always a plus!)<BR/><BR/>Sending you a hug from Oakland, CA!<BR/>mattymattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792716037555018912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-62307933817010082582008-04-15T02:09:00.000+01:002008-04-15T02:09:00.000+01:00I can't believe that I was thinking the same exact...I can't believe that I was thinking the same exact thing for myself! I think you've made the best decision. To not completely stop this blog because you do enjoy it. But to just do it less and prioritize. <BR/><BR/>You write very well. You need to do something with it! 39 is your year OC!! Get to it!! Of course your fans would love to hear from you occasionally as well.Deemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769378561838271916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-8164514747629295502008-04-14T18:51:00.000+01:002008-04-14T18:51:00.000+01:00I can totally relate to where you're coming from b...I can totally relate to where you're coming from but will nevertheless miss your regular postings! But as RB says above: real life has to come first and so do more material ambitions... blogging is great fun and a marvellous discipline in itself but it's not going to get you a book published. Great if you can manage to do both but if time is short then you have to make the logical decision. <BR/><BR/>But at least you're not disappearing for good - more like taking a sabbatical which will hopefully refresh you and galvanize your ambitions. Best of luck and I shall keep returning to savour your more select postings...!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-91592707689479796152008-04-14T16:18:00.000+01:002008-04-14T16:18:00.000+01:00I feel a bit odd commenting first since I am not a...I feel a bit odd commenting first since I am not a regular here.<BR/><BR/>But you are right of course - Real Life must come first. We should all just blog when it suits us and not feel we should commit to anything ie blog every day for a week and then not again for a while or whatever seems right at the time. I really don't think readers have expectations of us (they worry if we disappear for a while without saying I guess) - it's all in our own heads, our own sense of duty and conscientiousness. <BR/><BR/>I hope you manage to make good progress with your other writing. And certainly you must not neglect your husband!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
