The storm ruined my chances of going out this weekend so instead I finished doing a short course in book designing. I've been commissioned to design a book cover for a forthcoming anthology so I thought this would be a good way to brush up on my old art school skills. #bookdesign #anthology

So despite the latest Word update trying to wreck my chances, I still managed to get a reasonable amount of editing done today. It's now wine o'clock. I thank you. #editing

Had a really good day today. Went hillwalking, rounded off a couple of edits and one of my authors has been approached by a big mover and shaker in the publishing world. My fingers are crossed for him.

So, today I'm editing a novel that contains lots of Chinese terminology that needs to be checked but I wasn't anticipating this particular translation...

After buying my first flat just over a year ago and having previously lived in a tiny bedsit for 17 years, I am proud to have finally purchased my first full-size Christmas tree!

Lovely sunrise in Glasgow today. I'm working on my novel, inspired by the view, writing a mini draft. How's everyone else getting on with their writing?
