Loving the laptop

I finally got a laptop and it helps....seriously....on days that I would rather be watching TV or in the front room with the kids instead of hiding in the study I can join in and work on the laptop...have worked heaps in the four days that I've got it so maybe a miracle will happen and I will get myself back into the swing of things and get some proper writing done.

Charly...

I've always wanted to write, as simple as that, every since I was a kid and had learnt to read Dr. Suess (The Cat in the Hat was the first book I ever read aged 4) I wanted to write but never had the confidence in myself to be able to do it and in all honesty it's only been in the last 7 years that I have decided that I really need to make my dreams a reality, and only in the last 3 that I have thought about taking it seriously instead of just jotting notes down and half baked attempts. However 12 years ago when going to a playgroup with my eldest daughter an idea for a character popped into my head and I jotted vague notes and plot ideas and characters for the stories and had a basis for the stories but never took them any further.
That character has now matured and grown as I have and I think finally I might be ready to take her out for a whirl and over the next couple of days I want to see what I can do with her(I have my major project but every couple of months I like to take a couple of weeks and dabble with a few other ideas and Charly is one of them so want to play around with her and see what I can come up with....who knows one day that half baked dream might become a reality.....
