Some late-breaking news & a corrective
I just finished the first draft of the great Australian feminist young adult Elvis mangosteen monkey knife-fighting cricket fairy novel. Woo hoo!!!
Now all I have to do is rewrite it till it all makes sense. *rolls up sleeves* What larks!
And just to say: None of the points I made in the previous post refers to any writer who actually reads my blog. Okay? And, in fact, I’ve met very few writers who were so obnoxious I decided not to read them. Very very very few.
Remember the whole this-is-writ-ironical thing? I was just going for the laughs, folks.
I am a cross between Pollyanna and the monkey dude. I see, hear, smell, touch, and taste no evil. It’s all about the glad game. That’s just how we happy-go-lucky Sydney folks are.
Right now I’m really really really vastly hugely fully wholly glad that I finally found the end of my novel.
Jeeves? Some champagne, please!

When the time comes for
other people making the cover decisionI mean you getting listened to on the cover decision, make sure that the American edition gets a mangosteen on the cover, possibly with Elvis pompadour on top, because, the only reason I have ever heard of a mangosteen in my life is that you have one fighting fairy crickets with knives.(The back cover can have monkeys.)
