We spend more time planning than we do enjoying the moment and when you achieve what you've set out to achieve (if you do that is) instead of being content you're already on to the next...a life of wanting (the Buddhists have a good philosophy).

I grew up in Cornwall so can relate to lots of things you write about. I will definitely be back.<BR/><BR/>Fiona...ah, but my name does sound like Cally. Perhaps that is where confusion has arisen. But no problem. I'm far too much of a technophobe to be able to run a multi-user blog anyway!<BR/><BR/>Lane - your current plan sounds just like mine. Does yours have a timescale?

Glad to hear you're getting stuck into the novel. I'm in a quandary over my next one - waiting to hear back from NWS relast one, in the middle of a very time consuming journalism course, and dont want to start the next novel until I get the last one back.
