“As the days pass once more in this labyrinth, something has changed, altered even, to the Minotaur’s design, these past few days have been an up hill struggle with no end in sight yet you seemed nearer than before I feel your calming presence taking hold me in a tender embrace, now I draw nearer to Paradise, I seem too cautious, too careful of the steps I take yet I long to be within your arms once more my sweet prince, these past few days have done something to alter my thinking but again I wonder ever closer to Paradise and I smile for despite the darkness that surrounds me I search for you because you are my light in my darkness, my one true love, my everything and my world, so I smile shaking of my burden and casting aside the demons, wait now my sweet prince with that never ending smile just for as tomorrow will come soon enough”~ random thought

I’m not sure what I mean by that title but I certainly feel as though my cold or rather my cough has much improved although I’m not sleeping right but what else can you do however methinks that somehow everything seemed balanced as already the demons are in my head wondering a different question; can I really call Reach a book? Is the structure so bad that no-one will take it on? Will I have to re-write it in another way? Indeed, all these questions and much more remain unanswered.

Well I feel a small degree better than I was on Sunday although the only thing I’m contenting with now is a tickley cough and the odd frog in my throat but other that methinks I will get there eventually which got me thinking earlier, somehow it seems everyone is getting a cold lately which usually indicates a sign of cold weather or maybe even a summer cold, so I shall entitle this cold; spring cold but in the meantime I will look forward to getting rid of it.

“The labyrinth has not changed this past week as the Minotaur still sleeps soundly as though it feeds upon it but I will not awaken this beast as I silently tiptoe past its large bulk towards to open sky once again, the Minotaur will not miss me but yet it will be infinitely aware that my presence in the labyrinth has vanished but I will not fear this beast, indeed I fear nothing, as I fly into the infinite blue sky upon me to where you wait with a tender smile upon your face in those white clouds of Paradise, 3 whole days of bliss, joy, happiness, laughter, I have missed you once more my sweet prince, I have missed your company but these 3 days that Heaven has somehow granted you will not be wasted, oh my dear sweet prince, how I smile as I think of what these days will bring, I will tender to every need and I will make sure that your cold is vanquished much like my demons, so smile now my sweet prince, your angel will be with you soon enough”~ random thought

Well as you might have gathered from the title of the post I certainly gained little sleep last night mainly because I lay awake worrying about my recent submissions, why, I hear you ask, well I was thinking that I may have ruined my chances because instead of putting that Reach is a YA adventure fiction novel, I just put YA into the genre section of the form and the more I think about it the more I worry and the more I worry I begin to think that I will be hearing the familiar ring of a rejection letter soon but I could be wrong, I’m hoping that maybe the publisher and agent might see past this oversight (but I doubt it) but in some part of my mind I’m tempted to phone them or at least contact them and withdraw my submission but at this moment in time I can only wait and see.

I’m not even sure where these title’s are coming from but wherever it is methinks I shall call it my friend but on a more serious note I would recommend that you visit my old blog but sometimes I come to think of it as a static blog because there really isn’t much I can write there mainly because; a) I don’t have business yet and b) I’m not a full time writer (yet). Methinks the only thing I can really do with my old blog is just keep apologising to those nice people and hope that they never tire of the somewhat spaced out posts but all that is immaterial. On another note; my old blog has reached 2059 page views (some drastic traffic flow there) and this blog has reached 5374 page views.

Methinks instead of boring all you nice people by repeating myself I’m going post a link to my WordPress as I posted a through (by my opinion) report of yesterday’s events, well the shortened version anyway; http://heatherpollock92.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/the-minds-workshop/, I should probably add I also came away form the workshop with paper work and an empty business card holder (I ran out) but please read that post over a nice cup of tea if you wish (its quite long).

Well sufficed to say even though I’ve not even left the house yet my nervous are working over time today but I’m not really sure why I am nervous, maybe it’s my high ambitions or the worry that my dreams of becoming a writer might be shattered into tiny pieces of reality although this is all apart of my elaborate imagination but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that today leads me in the right direction towards this dream which has so far eluded me. On another note; the doctor’s was alright yesterday although apparently I’m getting referred to physio but if I can help it I will be doing all the exercises I can at home instead of wasting their time when they could be treating someone with a much more serious problem than my knee.

Well as you may have gathered from the title of this post that there isn’t going to be a double post mainly because as you all know by now I will be attending a writer’s workshop tomorrow which I beginning to get nervous about, I hope that there will be some people I know but I’m not sure as places were rather limited but fortunately I booked my place in advance, I also hope that I can raise the topic of the workshop on Tuesday when I go back to the writer’s club and I’m thinking that maybe this will also give me some valuable insight, confidence and many more idea’s to inspire me towards my goal. Sometimes I laugh at my high ambitions, sometimes I worry about them, other times I seek reassurance from Mike that these ambitions are not so high that I can’t achieve them, so I will prep my bag once more for the events of tomorrow and I will keep my fingers crossed that my nerves will hold (although it’s not likely). On a side note; it’s a trip to the doctor’s for me today, it’s nothing serious, just want someone to look over my knee (that is a story in itself). On a different note; my old blog has reached 2054 page views and this blog has reached 5332 page views.

Nothing has really changed much apart from that fact that I am still on the endless hunt for employment although I was saying earlier as much as I would take the grant that the Prince’s Trust kindly offered me over a year ago, that’s £5,000 that will be spent on nothing but crap instead of my business, so for now it will sit in my email inbox till such a time I my foot through the door, the same really applies for my business plan, I can’t really fill that in until I’m actually earning profit although I could have this information entirely backwards but for now that is really what I was informed, so I’m sticking by it until such a time I am informed differently.
