Welcome to my world

Hooray, this is my very first blog on Teen Fiction Cafe, which is incredibly exciting, but before I start I do feel, in the interest of fairness, that I should be honest about some of my less than savory habits. Okay, so here goes:


The most important thing to remember is that I really AM as shallow as I seem. I really DO watch that much television, drink that much diet coke and eat that many chocolates. It is possible to sit around ALL day and do nothing (in fact I might do a workshop on this one day since it's a much maligned skill). I never get sick of being brilliant, skinny and gorgeous all at the same time. And finally, yes, I have been known to stretch the truth from time to time...


Right, so now that we know each other a bit better, it's confession time. This week's blog topic is meant to be current events and the truth is that I've got nothing. Not a bean. You see in between spending all my time watching the Rugby World Cup and drooling over cute guys, I'm getting ready to move for the second time in five months and there is just no room in my head for anything other than packing boxes, secretly disposing of children's toys and generally wandering around trying to convince my husband that I'm hard at work.


Mind you, this isn't the first time I've lost contact with the outside world. In fact, as a writer I find it happens quite regularly. I get so caught up with the story in my head that I forget to pay attention to anything else that is happening (actually, this includes whether the dinner is burning or not, but that's another blog post). So my question is, does this happen to anyone else or is it just me. Oh, and if you want to make me feel better by lying, then that's perfectly okay!
