I wanted to share this before it got lost in the flurry of the new year.
Been taking time in the mornings to reflect on things, ideas, writing and the like.
It's been good to come back to myself.
Also it may explain why I've been so quite lately. Two years in and more than 300 0000 words later, It's way past time to get serious.

The idea of #100HappyDays is that you post something everyday that you are happy about. They call it happy but I think that grateful is probably the better word. 
Anyway, these trivial little happy's quickly add up, and before you know it you're in the habit of looking for things to be happy about. 
Simple? 
I thought so too.
The real trick however, is consistency.
This post started as a way to catch up a weeks backlog of #100happydays posts but after closer inspection it turns out that I was more like a month behind.
So no surprise there.
Apparently, late is my thing.
(Melfka you have permission to snicker, childishly)
Thanks again to Joanna Maciejewska, Alayna Cole,  Lucy Jayne, J.R.Barker & Meg Cowley for joining me for the 100happydays journey. It's been wonderfully encouraging to see your posts come through my feed everyday.
So enough with the mushiness and onward to the happies:

So, I've been 'away' for a while....sort of, kind of, not really. 
Last month I signed up for CampNaNoWriMo, 
cause I'm  stupid like that. 
On some level I thought it was a good idea, I'd be editing  anyway and it would give me the chance to make some new friends, trade stories, toast marshmallows & go skinny dipping. 
Turns out not so much, this time anyway, my fault of course.

Thank you Joanna 'Mad one' Maciejewska for tagging me me in the  Liebster Award Blog Hop a couple of weeks back.
okay it was months. 
months!
happy now? Happy?!
anyway, moving on
so, punctual as ever, here I is.

First off, here be the rules:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link back to their blog. 
2. Answer 11 questions from the person who nominated you.
3. Nominate other bloggers.
4. Give those bloggers 11 questions to answer and let them know they’ve been nominated

Yes I'm still here, despite all evidence to the contrary. 
The book edit has been moving forward at a much slower pace than I'd hoped, I'm still learning what process works for me. There have been lots of other projects coming together all at once including a few shorts which I'll be publishing on Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo & iBooks (Links will follow) before too long. Very, very excited to reveal the covers.
Have been working on some other "ideas" with some really great artists but, 
as I said before details and announcements will follow soon enough.
Hope you're all staying busy, you know idle hands, devils playground....that kind of thing.
Sorry got to go, 
Master is calling.

I have many interests, lots, heaps, piles even. 
Call it an addiction if you will and you will have some understanding 
of the kind of ballpark we are playing in. 

The thing is this, I have always consumed things.

When something perks my interest I hunt it down & kill it. 

There is little that can stop me because to be completely frank - I can’t even stop me. 
I will lie in bed at night and just let the little gremlins scrape around in there as they disassemble and reassemble my current obsession until they know it’s various pieces intimately just by the feel of the odd shapes of it's components.
I swear that isn’t as creepy as it sounds. 
Okay maybe it is 
a little.
