I have many things that need to be done urgently, some of which involve going for a walk up to Newtown. However, this is the weather radar, the system seen is currently moving to the east:

If you draw a straight line between the Sydney and Sydney Ap squares and then look at a point level with Randwick, that is Erskineville. Newtown is 500m up the hill, to the west. I suspect that I will be better off finishing up my story on pets in gardens this afternoon.

In other news, my physio pointed out today that one of the reasons the tendons in my foot hate me so much is that I have a mild case of permanently extended big toe, which is known as cockup deformity. FINALLY medical science names something appropriately!

Glad your foot is fixable!

I'm doing well - more busy than ever due to having a part-time work at home job and taking an online course in immigration law in addition to taking care of the kids full time. I hardly ever have time to write. But I am persisting, albeit sloooooooowly, and have 13 chapters up. Ch.14 is lingering in Google Docs, half-written and restless. I sense I'm balking as I have a huge un-outlined chunk between then and the end and I have little idea what happens to get me to the finish line. (The same thing happened to me right before Ch. 7).

And I have a half a mind to simply chuck the whole thing and write about time travel. Does anyone really need another gay coming of age novel?

Anyway... so you don't have to deal with frustrating waits for me to post, you might as well read the whole thing when I finish. Which I do plan to do at some point. But if you decide to read earlier, I would love more feedback! The hardest thing about writing this is that I can't write on a consistent schedule, so there's a feeling of disjointedness (at least for me) that I hope to remedy in the second draft.
