The Joan Aiken book looks good so far, by the way. It's only a slim volume, and the copy I just bought is second hand, so I suspect it's out of print. I have, I admit, always fancied writing children's books. After all, I've been reading them for long enough. It would also be possible (should I ever break through the barrier and write a novel good enough for publication) to write 1 adult and 1 children's book per year, which would help the income. That's the way my thought processes are working at the moment anyway. I suspect, however, that breaking into children's books is no easier than breaking into adults. On the other hand, if all would-be children's authors are churning out sub-Rowling fantasies about wizards, perhaps a crisply written yet atmospheric time-travel story (I suppose that's what it is) might be a bit different?

I used to take this sort of thing in my stride
Yesterday was emotionally very up and down. (Nothing serious, just minor stresses brought on by a poorly computer.) I woke to heavy rain, but…
