So, wedding plans have been dominating my time this week. Yesterday (Thursday) saw the wedding rehersal without a best man, the person doing the readings or the musician but it still went well. I'm not feeling a bit more relaxed and yet excited and nervous about the whole thing. The most stressful thing is probably the speech at the reception.

But! Despite the fact I did write the speech, this blog isn't about weddings and whatnot so back to writing:

I haven't been updating here much (or checking my email) because I have been writing stories on the Pocket PC I mentioned in the last post. I've been working on Night Magic and I've also concieved a few new ideas.

Firstly we have a cheerleader story. It's about an injured international ballerina who is employed at a school by her brother. She wants to teach ballet but said brother doesn't know if she still has the skill to make a ballet class worth the expenditure so he challenges her to take on a different class to prove she's worthwhile. When the cheerleading coach has to go on maternity leave just four weeks before the interschool championships, he tells his sister that if she can take the cheerleaders to the championship and win, he will get her her ballet class. The main characters are the ballerina and the captain of the cheerleading squad.

Another idea I had is called Blondes in Paris. It's about three different blondes who meet in a New York airport/aeroplane and travel to Paris together. One is trying to earn a scholarship, one is escaping her family to meet her Internet beau and the other is running from her employees.

And just today in fact I was messing around with Publisher (on a real computer) when I came up with an idea for another story called Knights of the Crow. It's about a girl who discovers an order of knights in the 21st century.

As our network is acting up (as it likes to do), I can't get an update on Wizard's of Dianthus but I'm at about 58k and they're still all on the pirate ship.

In other, almost writing news, I am now employed and am looking into buying a laptop which will make writing a lot easier and funner! At the moment, I like the sound of a convertible notebook like the Gateway CX200X.

Laters!
