Have fire, will put irons in it

Ok, here’s something. The boys have another school holiday. Thursday is their last day and they don’t go back until the 18^th of October. I’m going to lose my mind.  I’m not going to speak of it again, except to say that they just had a holiday a few weeks ago, remember? And let me just say this one last thing. the youngest one’s school, on top of the week long holiday, is closed the previous Friday so the teachers can have an in- service day to work on the new ‘Curriculum for Excellence’ that the government is implementing. How can there be a curriculum of anything if they’re never in school? Ok, that’s me. I’m not going to speak about this again.

 Well, I have NOT been doing my 500 words a day for some time now. I have NOT been keeping up with this blog thing, although I’m not sure exactly how often I’m supposed to write (probably no rules, eh?). I have actually been WORKING.

 Remember when I sent out my original call for readers, I said that I had no deadlines but had several long-shot type irons in the fire? Well, one of those things has gone from simmer to bigger simmer and has required my attention. This is a lovely turn of events because it means that the incredible Luciana Frigerio and I will be putting it into high gear together, taking our animation production company, Hold That Tiger out for a spin on the open road. (I love metaphors and sometimes wish that I could go on and on in metaphor, abandoning my original topic altogether). Mental note: try this sometime.

 Anyway, all this is to say that I’ve had to use every ounce of my time towards something that may, possibly, hopefully, make MONEY. Not that I think My Memoir won’t make revolting amounts of cash, but that’s a slightly longer shot than this gorgeous little long shot…..

 Back to work.
