Selling well, writing slowly!

Now you see this is bad!

I allowed myself to pop into the 'cupboard I fondly call my study' for the time it took to drink a mug of coffee in order to delete the 567 spam emails I've collected over the weekend and I'm still here twenty minutes later - and my coffee is cold.

By the by, why do people bother to send SPAM? Surely to goodness it can't work. And it's certainly not very specific, is it? A goodly proportion of mine are offering to enlarge a body part I simply don't possess.

It's not as though I've actually spent much time looking at the emails either. I thought I'd quickly 'google' Oman - as you do when you're writing a sheikh book and want to get your dishdashas straight - and have been very badly sidetracked. As I far too often am.

Memo to Self: THIS IS WHY I'M WRITING THIS BOOK ON MY LAPTOP WHICH HAS NO ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.

And then, of course, I couldn't resist MSNing Trish to check she's not making too much progress on her WIP.

Actually this was a good move. First off, contrary to her own blog, she has not got her fingers on her keyboard all the time. Right at this moment she is watching 'Smallville' which makes me feel much better.


Secondly, she knows how to check the Waldenbooks Bestseller List and I'm on it. 'The Tycoon's Princess Bride' came in at number 10 for the week ending 6th October.




Now send me back to work ..........
