Just a quickie . . .
I went to Dallas on Tuesday to see Glasvegas, and the COOLEST thing happened, ever. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Glasvegas. But I’m a bit obsessed at the mo’ with a band called Ida Maria. They’re Norwegian.…
Revisions Diary: Day ONE MILLION AND SHOOT ME
Yeah, I’m still revising. The same book I was revising before. Basically, I fixed everything my editor wanted me to fix, and in doing so I uncovered everything else that also needed to be fixed, but that had been slightly…
