Sunday

 I should keep Sunday as a "day of rest." but I'm too busy! I finished reading 'The Complete Article Writer' by Simon Whaley which is brilliant! Also, read 'Writing for Magazines' by Adele Ramet. Another good book although a lot of it is about writing fiction.

I'm going to pack up for the day now, in favour of watching some c**p TV!

See you tomorrow!
