new news

- i'm going to have another piece in the age A2 on saturday april 14. i realise, as i'm typing this, that having articles published in the papers is not really that exciting for people who freelance for a living, but it's all still quite new to me and i'm still getting a buzz from it, so i'll continue to report publications on this blog.
- i've re-jigged and re-juvenated my manuscript and it looks like it's back on track for the moment. this one's happening a little different from the first in that i have a general idea where the story is going as opposed to just writing and waiting to see what happened next. i'm a little nervous about this new direction, but i'm happy to go with it. we'll see what happens...
- i have an agent. woohoo! i now belong to curtis brown. very happy all round with that develoment...
- i have registered the dot com domain of my name, which currently re-directs to this website. just thought it'd be handy to own... and okay yes i was procrastinating, okay? anyway stop distracting me so i can go back to writing, alright? sheesh! :o)

All great news s, congrats akimbo to you. Very glad to hear the scary 2nd book is progressing well (I'm sure it's not really scary just that whole thing you know of having done it once and now again...) mine is now getting a line edit (ooer) and I have multiple misgivings about bits and bobs and flashes of things that should be in there...
Also congrats re Curtis Brown....brillo indeed and the articles in the age.,.hey look, I'm a freelancer and I think it's pretty damn tootin'

Hey shalini.

I came across this blog, while I was looking for the blog address that u've occupied.
I write on ispeaking.blogspot.com, thought i will start writing on iwriter URL, but somebody is already writing great stuff here.

Best of luck with ur book. I think I'll read it, if I find a copy in india bookstore.
