Only one more issue to sub and two to get approval on for the mag. It's so near yet so far. On the plus side, I think I can probably get away with going out for a drink tonight (sadly, can't get hammered cos I've got loads to do tomorrow but nonetheless, it'll be ace to get out of the house.) It's the first night in a good few days when I haven't just wanted to use any spare time to sleep.
Wrote an article for a newspaper today, in between waiting for files to download, phoning the photographer and doing a million other organisational things. The editor loved it - described it as brilliant - which made me very happy indeed. It's the first time I'll have got anything into a newspaper rather than a mag so I'm dead chuffed.
I also heard back from the trade mag I've just got a column in. They also liked the article I sent them - it'll be in there in January so I'll link to it once it's online.
I feel like a proper writer.
On a more serious note, I'm beginning to feel a distinct lack of Christmas tree in the flat. I'm a big kid so usually get a Christmas tree on December 1st. It has to be a proper tree - one that actually smells of Christmas tree rather than those modern ones that have been treated so that they don't drop needles but don't smell of anything. Need to reorganise the living room first though. It's the first year that I've worked from home so we've got two desks to move. Either that or lose the sofa, which wouldn't be ideal for Christmas slobbing out.
Have got to wait another day for my dress. The designer didn't have time to meet up so she put it in the post instead. Will be waiting for the post eagerly in the morning and will probably end up wearing it all day as I type. Trying to figure out if it's too full-on to wear to the b3ta party on Thursday. Probably is. Doubt that will stop me though.
