Made it with the deadline with Routledge and sent off my manuscript, despite all the frustrations with new computer system etc.  Now really enjoying a wee bit of a lull while the copy editor reads over all my 10 chapters, thousands of words, before the next stage of work starts on turning them into a real book on the shelves– a lull in which I’m enjoying having time to catch up a bit with friends and family, with various other writing projects, thinking about future writing plans.  In the meantime planning to join a series of SCaT (Scottish Cultures and Traditions) singing workshops with Janet Weatherstone, starting end of this month – fingers crossed I can still sing!
