I know it's been a good long while since I updated this journal, other than automatically reposting my tweets, which really doesn't count. So. Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

I am unemployed. Too much time off sick (thanks, ME), they need someone back in the office, etc. If anyone wants the job description for a technical writing job based just round the corner from Sheffield station, let me know.

Before I get sympathy, I should say this is a relief. Something I don't have to feel guilty for not keeping on top of. I'm taking a good long break before I start looking for another job, which will probably be something part-time since I can't cope, health-wise, with anything full-time. We'll muddle through. And I'll write that bestseller, or somesuch.

I may even tidy up my office.

So, sleeping, writing, knitting, annoying the dog - sounds like a summer to me.

This post isn't friends-locked. Fingers crossed, eh?

Following up on my last post... )

So what does this mean for you and me right now? It means I'm throwing one last party, a farewell to York.

For obvious reasons, it won't be at my house, so it will be at VJ's, on the evening of the 21st of February. It's a Sunday, yes, because they're booked already for the Saturday, but they're going to open up especially for us. So please do come along, even if it's only for an hour. I'll post times when I've talked with the manager on Saturday. If you can make it, please let me know, either in comments here or drop me an email, so that I can let them know this Saturday roughly how many people should be turning up.

Please come, so I can say thank you for being a part of my life for so long, for being amazing, wonderful, incredible friends, for letting me love you (that won't change). And if not for that, come because I'll raid my laughable savings account and hopefully have munchies and booze available for a while at least, until it all gets eaten and drank and you have to buy your own drinks.

Oh, and if I've borrowed anything of yours, now is a really, really good opportunity to remind me so I can give it back. Just saying.

The best of luck to you all, and may this year turn out to be a good one for you all.

This time, to [livejournal.com profile] o_faolain, who started his new job today. Hurrah! I hope it continues to be interesting and new and shiny and much, much fun.

I had a piece of flash fiction published in this week - Day Trippers. Hurrah! Go, read, read the other stories! Subscribe! (It's free!)

And if you really, really like what you see, or if you just think that small press magazines/ezines need supporting (it's the largest genre ezine in Europe afaik) - consider making a donation. Not many people do and, well, Hub pays its authors. Which is really nice.

Belated Many Happy Returns of the Day! are due to:

[livejournal.com profile] a_crow, [livejournal.com profile] jpsorrow, [livejournal.com profile] john_the_hat and [livejournal.com profile] kissmeforlonger

Apologies for the delay!

Also, a huge CONGRATUMALATIONS to [livejournal.com profile] thewritehand, who is the newest Assistant Editor at Angry Robot, the new SF & F imprint from HarperCollins. He gets paid to read books. Me, envious? Not at all... lol

Throat is much improved, thanks. Getting back into the swing of the new year with a brand new To Do list, many Plans for Sorting Things Out and much resolve to get more writing done. And finished. And more knitting. And that pile of dressmaking. And some gardening. Erm... Tardis?

Jobs going

Let me know if you're interested.

Podcasting )

I went salsa dancing again last night. It was lots of fun, and I'm still terrible at it (understandably, and not helped by confusing left and right turns the whole lesson). I daresay I'll be going again next week. Then [livejournal.com profile] ravenlas and I met up with [livejournal.com profile] john_hat for a pint and then The War of the Worlds. It's big-budget, big boomy special effects, some schmaltz, some creepiness, and quite enjoyable as long as you're not expecting it to be the book. Or to have no plot holes. The little girl in it was fantastic - she has a great career in horror films, if her big-eyed pale face and piercing scream are anything to go by...
