But a little time.

I've submitted my book 'How to create a Super Hero' to a site calle Long Tale.

If I get enough reviews and recommendations it could be published.

What you need to do;

you may have to register, but it's free.

For a short time my book will be on the right hand side under 'new additions'.

After that time you need to go to 'submissions' and search for 'How to create a super hero' in children's chapter books.

I'd love your help.

That is to say, my school term is over and I'm on holidays!!!!! Two lovely weeks of not having to drive for at least 45 minutes to work and drag cords around, and control unruly children. LOL Now I have only my own two children to control. Ha Ha

I do have a few things I need to finish ... like my children's book Fairy god Mother Trouble. Except I'm thinking of naming it The Fairy Godmother Surprise, because they don't actually get into too much trouble. The poor illustrator has been waiting all month for me to send her the last four chapters.

Tonight I'm having Subway for dinner and I might even let me hair down enough to eat some chocolate ... gasp!!!

It's amazing what difference a few days can make - I was so depressed a few days ago.

I've been working on my new book about a fairy godmother who is less than perfect.

It's shaping up nicely.

The illustrations will be done by Stephanie Holmes, who is Reowyn at Deviant art

I'm writing it for my daughter for Christmas and I'm sure whe will love it. After all she is the main character, her friend's names are used and I've consulted her on the plot.

So far I've written about 3300, which has taken me nearly to the end of chapter 4 (these children's books generally only have about 10 000 words, so I'm a third of the way there).

I will let everyone know when it's available.

I just thought I'd give you all an update on my son James.

We have been to see his paediatrician and have been advised to put James back onto medication for the epilepsy to prevent more seizures. James is well and fairly happy (although a little scared by the whole thing) and I think he will adjust in time to the restrictions that we have had to place on him to keep him safe. On the medication he should be able to live a very normal life. We also joined the Epilepsy action of Australia and they are being very supportive. Later in the year we will have a chance to attend a camp to meet other families dealing with epilepsy. I think it will be good for James to meet other kids who are going through similar things to him.

Thanks again for your support and well wishes.

Last night my husband and I had planned to go and see the Socceroos play but we never made it into the ground. Mike's parents called us before we got to the gates to tell us James had had another seizure. It's been almost 2 years since his last one.

The really worrying thing was that James didn't even have a high temperature.

It was a temperature spike that caused the last one and the doctor said that sometimes kids who have grown out of infantile epilepsy (like james) can have it resurge at puberty. Well James is just that age (and starting to grow a little moutache - can you believe it?).

We caught a taxi from the stadium to the hospital (cost us a fortune!) and then after about 3 hours of observations they let us go home. He is off school for a few more days and we will have to go to his pediatrition for more tests on Thursday. My husband had today off work and I have tomorrow off - we are hoping he will be well enough for school on Wednesday so we can both go to work. Mike is in the middle of a huge project, and the company I work for has huge troubles replacing educators for time off. I was very lucky to get Tomorrow.

So anyway, the short of it is - I'm exhausted, and so is Mike. There will be no energy for creative things for a little while.
