Wednesday was not a good day. At least, it wasn’t up until 12.28pm.
Until then, I’d had whinging children constantly in my ear and I wasn’t feeling the best emotionally:
Will the BOOK be a FAILURE? Or a ROUSING SUCCESS?
Does it matter?
Of course it matters!
Well, it depends on how you define ’success’
Shut up, brain. 

So for […]

Edit: I wrote this several weeks ago. I haven’t posted it until now because…well, I’m not sure why. Part of me was like, “Girl, so TMI.”
