Qwerty Queen: July 2010
http://qwertyqueen.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 July 2010. Catching Up With Myself. Life seems to have been non-stop since I came back from holiday. Work deadines, family obligations, friends in need for all sorts of reasons, not to mention domestic trivia and various bits of socialising, have all conspired to fill every waking moment. I've felt hugely frustrated about the lack of time to get on with writing and studying, aka what I really want to do. Links to this post. Wednesday, 21 July 2010. A Thing I Don't Understand. I'm so fed up wit...

Qwerty Queen: Accidental Resolution
http://qwertyqueen.blogspot.com/2011/01/accidental-resolution.html
Saturday, 15 January 2011. I didn't intend to make any New Year's resolutions this year. My second, and best, resolution was to take a sensible amount of time off from work. This came after years of building my own business, doing postgraduate study, and working through most weekends and holidays. I decided I would take weekends off unless I had an urgent deadline, and that four weeks' holiday a year would be 'a sensible amount'. This resolution saved me from becoming a complete workaholic. But I'm findi...

Qwerty Queen: That Pesky Second Draft

Sunday, 6 February 2011. That Pesky Second Draft. Woke up dis mornin', got the second draft blues. Woke up dis mornin', got the second draft blues. Looked at my MS, wasn't nothin' but bemused. It's as much fun as a bruise. I would rather have a snooze. Etc etc etc etc etc. Always tells me that 'marinating time' is essential. I know she's right, but it doesn't make me any more patient. Why did I want to be a writer anyway? Could someone please remind me? Big hugs - hope the pain passes soon.). I find iron...

Qwerty Queen: I Didn't Get The Job
http://qwertyqueen.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-didnt-get-job.html
Saturday, 2 April 2011. I Didn't Get The Job. But I'm not too down-hearted, or even particularly surprised - after all, it was my first job interview in 16 years! I've learned a lot from this process, and one thing I've learned is that from now on I'm going to keep quiet about any future interviews. This time round, I needed all the advice, encouragement and cheer-leading I could get, so thanks very much for that. But it's too depressing telling everyone I didn't get the job! With the present climate Im ...
