Your duckling tales are fab. I really think they should have their own page (and pics... hmm... you could get the ducklings to choose your winner from my blog party later this week...)<BR/><BR/>Ray-Anne - nope, it's not just new writers who get attacked by crows. My personal remedy for them involves major chocolate consumption, a cuddle from the dog and a Radley handbag... <BR/><BR/>In some respects it's a good sign because it means you're still striving to make the book better and haven't slipped into the arrogance trap.Kate Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367918727779245526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-14195045530294754202007-07-11T12:29:00.000+01:002007-07-11T12:29:00.000+01:00Not only reading it, India but discussing it.

(But would have to amend 'upwards and onwards' to 'OUTwards and onwards' given the amount of chocolate I've had to consume to get this book written!!) <BR/><BR/>Michelle, I can't tell you how excited I was to hear that your lovely daughter is reading my book.

Love your post about your duckling...Hello Michelle. Love your post about your ducklings. My family had a smallholding at one time [with chickens, ducks, geese, pigs etc] and it was the best fun for us kids.<BR/>Please forgive me for being reassured that it is not just the new writers who see Crows of Doubt when starting a new book.<BR/>I am slowly realising that the work does not get easier the more you do. I am now on book 9, and still feel as though each new story has to be the most frustrating way of avoiding the ironing. Pity it is my life and my dream. What do they say? Upwards and onwards.
