'Let Sleeping Dogs Lie'

 Yesterday, I finished, edited and submitted 'Sniff This Out!' to 'Dogs Today' magazine. It's an article about a dog's incredible sense of smell and how they can detect certain medical conditions and events.

Today, I've been writing 'Let Sleeping Dogs Lie', an 800-word feature article about the things that dogs experience when asleep.

Later today, when I've had a break, I'm going to start on 'Up, Pup and Away' about flying with your dog.

I'm on a roll this weekend!


It's later (16:15) and I've just had a sandwich and cup of tea. I then re-organised the folders and documents in my 'PROJECTS' file.

I need some more contributions from people who've flown with their dogs before I start any writing. So I think that's all for today. I'm going to watch TV for the rest of the day (or maybe read a book on nonfiction writing!).
