Another Rejection

Just to log another rejection. This time from Aberrent Dreams for "Come and Play". Poo etc!

Grubby ol' archives

What a lovely day of grubby old archives. It's the only way to describe them!  My hands were filthy, my clothes covered in crumbling leather and the dust of 150 years. Great fun!

Seriously though, I actually feel as if I got somewhere today and have a (very small, I admit) box all sorted, packed away and properly described. 

Very gratifying.

I was mainly going through the archives of Terenure College, getting things in order for a researcher who will be writing a history of the school. I think the thing I like best are the old school photos where you look at the faces in the front row especially and see that they could be any boy in a school photo today. The rolls are fun too. There are comments from the teachers "Lazy and disobedient", "Found climbing the orchard wall" or "An excellent student!"

Maybe things haven't changed all that much when it comes to little boys...

Deep Calming Breaths...

I just uploaded the 30 or so pages of my novel, The Penitent, requested by The Nelson Literary Agency.
 
I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm. I am trying to stay calm.
 
If I go on like this I will give myself a brain hemorrhage,
