Take a deep breath ....

I have had one of those busy but unproductive spells that sometimes jump up and bite you.

I have my younger daughter home for a few days suffering from a broken elbow.
I have decorators painting the outside of the house.
I have been having "issues" with the people who purchased our former house in Daventry. They accept they owe us £1500+ but they seem very unwilling to pay it back!
The school governors season has just started so I have been going up to Shrewsbury rather more often than I would have chosen.

All this has left me short of time and energy to write much. I have done some more E+E work and a little bit on old newspapers but nothing else of any significance.

"Must do better" as they would say at school.

One project at a time.

My, self imposed, problem is that I lack the common sense to focus on one writing project at a time. Research it, write it, sell it - then move onto the next project.

I don't seem able to do this. I have cemetery project, the South African postcard project, the old newspapers project and the E+E project in my head at the same time and the number of jobs needing to be done seems rather overwhelming.

The good news is the the Biggles Companion - a project I did complete - is selling well. I make about £10 a week profit from Ebay and word-of-mouth sales. Not a fortune but it amuses me no end.
