The fairy-wren hasn’t posed outside my window again, so I’ve had to settle for these distant shots from the Nikon D3000 SLR, on auto.

Four of the female fairy-wrens have vanished. I expect that they have been enticed away by another male. I miss them all flitting about my yard.

If I whistle at the blue fairy-wren, the feathers on top of his head stand erect and he gives a bit of a warble of his own. I took this picture through the kitchen window. Just seeing me was enough to get him declaring his dominance.

Thanks for looking.

I’m still busy with this book. I was stressing myself over the formatting for Amazon and I’ve had to rein myself in and get more sleep so that the brain will work better. When I exported from Scrivener into Word, I ended up with two different fonts and spacings – don’t ask me how I managed that. Then, in attempt to create a .mobi, I managed to do something which froze things and now I think I’ve corrupted my Scrivener project file.

I copied all 96 scenes, one by one, from Wattpad into yWriter5. I have missed the clean lines and organisation of yWriter and it was so good to be back with it that I’ve rewritten two more scenes, since, for Wattpad. I still haven’t formatted the dashed eBook for setting up that pre-order and it doesn’t even matter what it looks like inside as no-one sees it until it is released.I am my own worst enemy sometimes. Thanks for listening to me moan.

I’ve decided to draft book two during NaNoWriMo. This next one is not taking 5 years. I’m having it done in six months, or less. It’s only 85,000 words or so. Wish me luck!
