I couldn't get into my blog at the weekend.
Now I had changed my password a few weeks before but had no problem remembering it, except suddenly it was gone.
Tried every password that I'd ever used on the blog sign-in, but it wasn't any of them.
Then with my OH being home and starting the sorting and reorganising that had to be put off when I had the accident 2+ years ago, I've only today had the time and quiet to use the speedy verification code system.
Had to do it twice to get it to work properly, but I'm now signed back in and can start posting again.
I'm glad to be back...

My Characters Are Calling...
Some of my characters in waiting have started getting impatient, reminding me they are there and they are waiting for me to get on with their story...
Unfortunately I can't handle two different romances at the same time. Each hero is different and it won't help continuity if characteristics from Marcus (from my Dorset novel) start transferring themselves to Hugh (in my Nottinghamshire novella).
I may have to assign different days of the week to each story just to keep them happy.
At the moment another couple of characters are popping into my mind, so I think I need to do some brain clearing- writing down all the ideas/characteristics that have developed since I first started to give them reality (at Sally Quilford's Pocket Novel workshop a few years ago).
I'd like to attend Sally's next workshop in September, but I won't be able to; but do go if you can, you'll learn a lot and enjoy it.
You can find out more on Sally's blog, here. It's titled 'Recipe for Making Love Stories'- and if you book now, you get it for less.
I've just finished reading Sally's latest My Weekly pocket novel, 'Take My Breath Away'. It all starts with Cleopatra- at least the making of a film about her... :-)
I was so near the end of the story, and didn't want to wait until the following day to finish it, so I stayed up until nearly one o'clock in the morning.
Right, I have to go. I need to start recording my characters' latest revelations...
Do your characters-in-waiting start trying to interrupt, when you're writing something else?
