Truth Universally Acknowledged

The title of this blog is an obvious reference to my favourite author, Jane Austen. My other great inspiration is Ella Fitzgerald. I intend this site to be general musings about things which interest me, and hopefully you as well.

Name:
Location: Auckland, New Zealand

I'm a girl in her twenties living in New Zealand - of Irish and Scottish descent. I'm married to a wonderful guy and we live in a tiny house in the suburbs with a menagerie of soft toys and model aircraft. My main occupations at the moment are attempting to become and author and surviving my day job... wish me luck!

It is finished!

My novel is printed, and it is now on its way to the publisher with letter and synopsis in tow. It's going to take me a while to get used to not having that nagging guilt in the back of my mind all the time: "Should be working on my story".

Of course, if I feel like doing some more writing once I've had a break, I do already have 3,000 words written in various bits and pieces for my next novel. And they say that you shouldn't wait to hear back from publishers, that you should start working on something else straight away. However, I am sure I will spend at least a few months just kicking back and relaxing in my spare time. Starting this weekend - Warbirds over Wanaka, here I come!

Thanks Carrie :-)

The publisher was great - they emailed me the day the received my package, and said the wait will be 2 weeks - 2 months.

I'm trying to prepare myself for rejection, but secretly imagining success.
