I've also discovered if I sit at my desk for 6 hours at a time and drink too much coffee I hallucinate and start imagining all sorts of frightening things. For instance, I thought I heard someone say Woman magazine has stopped running short fiction. I was tripping, obviously. What? Huh? It's true!!!!
Got 2 sales last week, and a fat cheque from Take A Break has paid off my Christmas presents overdraft.
The new novel is stuck at 14,000 words and I'm seriously wondering if I haven't plagurised James Herbert's latest...his written far better, obviously - I kneel at your feet and kiss your hairy toes, oh Scary One.
Here's a photo of me editing out all the similarities.

Have you seen the letter in the current Writers News from the huffy short story writer? He's sold to Woman and in her reply, Diana Cambridge has advised him to concentrate on them as he's been successful there - nice timing ;o)
LOL - that picture! Is that really you under all that paper ;-) I feel like I know the feeling....
