2. It's hard to gulp with a sore throat...

Why write when you can play around with your blog?

I've updated my Bibliography page and hopefully made it that little bit more accessible. I've put a dividing line between then and now (if you read my last post you'll know what I mean). If you didn't, it doesn't really matter.

I'm getting excited and very, very nervous (what if nobody likes it?) about my chapbook. The edits are done and at the moment it looks like 'The Sour Aftertaste of Olive Lemon' will be published in July. I should have cover artwork soon - it's difficult to gulp and yay at the same time. In the meantime, here's the blurb:


The Sour Aftertaste of Olive Lemon by Catherine J Gardner

"It is important to show no signs of madness even when the world about you is clearly insane…

Olive Lemon is determined to discover what lies beneath the polished veneer of her town. When the Mayor bans citizens from venturing into the grey streets of the neighbouring suburb, a tantalising place of tattoo parlours and screams, Olive’s world begins to snap apart like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.”

3. Insert Words Here

If only every day could be like the two that have just galloped past – that’s longhand for I had a good writing weekend.

Uninterrupted writing bliss with occasional breaks to twitter. Okay, more than occasional.

The Sour Aftertaste of Olive Lemon is almost complete. As much as I’ve loved writing the story and editing it, my favourite part was, on realising it was going to be too short for its intended market, setting the backbone of the story aside to write scenes that I could insert into the manuscript. I think it’s one of the least stressful parts of the writing process along with those magical words: ‘The End’.

Amen.
