Asking for a friend - is it OK to eat chocolates for breakfast on Boxing Day?

@timrichards If you can't eat chocolates at breakfast, when can you eat them?

I've just lost my indie author status by signing my first-ever book contract with a publisher

OMG that was an exhausting week. Travelled around the bay, delivered a library talk, edited 6 articles for Lonely Planet, wrote and filed an article from my Canada trip, saw an eye doctor, met up with a friend, bought groceries, did admin, nearly melted down.

Tomorrow (Friday is the start of my weekend), I am ignoring my emails and relaxing. I intend to head to Carlton to see a movie and eat pasta. That is all. And no looking at my email till Monday.

How's your week been?

@timrichards Not nearly as busy as yours, but just as I about to sit down today and send an email off to a publisher querying how my submission was going, I got one from them apologising for the delay, but they'd like to offer me a contract if I'm still interested in working with them. Am I what!

10/27. Do you ever mention writing or reading in your stories?

It depends on the story. Both Zell (my SF series MC) and my Winds and Pillars cannot read, they have never been taught, for reasons.

I do make that point in the stories, so you might count that as a mention. 🙂

On the other hand, a book is an important clue in my Konrad novel (German), and Andert (also German) gets into quite a fight with the castle's archivist over reading and writing.

@Firlefanz one of my main characters in my first novel is writing a book, and references that book in my second novel

@Firlefanz My character wasn't a full-time writer in either novel, but I thought it would be an interesting aspect of her character

Eyeroll. Did a Replace All on OK to Okay and now have to take the 'ay' off every occurrence of 'book', 'look', 'shook' and 'took' in my manuscript

Just got myself all sorted into my waterproofs ready for a Zodiac cruise off the ship, when they announce there's too much swell and the cruise is off. Now changing back into my civvies and putting the big lens (100-400mm) back on the camera forshipboard bird watching
