I had insomnia the night before last, but not the "oh well I'm awake I might as well get up and write or do something similarly constructive". Oh no, I don't get that sort of insomnia. I get the "lie there tossing and turning trying to work out if you're really awake but not actually being awake enough to get out of the bed" insomnia. So yesterday was a bit of a blur.

Last night however I turned off the light at 10pm and blissfully slept through until the alarm went off. Didn't even notice the children coming in. So today I feel somewhat human again and less like a badly reanimated zombie with a need for crisps and coke.

Today Grace Draven ([livejournal.com profile] grace_draven ) has an interview with me on her livejournal. Grace is hoping to do a lot more interviews with a variety of authors and I am her guinea pig which is very exciting. Her questions were great. As usual I only hope my answers make sense.

rflong: (Iz You Drunk Again?)
( Feb. 28th, 2009 10:31 am)
When you have a book launch you celebrate. We were given a lovely bottle of champagne.

When you have a book launch on Pancake day, you have pancakes.

Warning: trying to make said pancakes after drinking said champagne does not result in perfect crepe-like pancakes.

At All.

But it does result in giggles.

The kids, of course, wanted pancakes for tea, which they got and I put the rest of the mixture in the fridge with the champagne - for later. Ah yes, magic words. Kids went to bed. I chatted to people online, had dinner, drank half the bottle of champagne (hey, I had to share it with [livejournal.com profile] e_w_h ) and then, at about 11pm we went... Mmmm pancakes...

Well, they were Mmmm.

In other news, if you're not sick of the "Me me me" yet (of course you're not. Don't even think such a thing!) there's an interview up on Amused Authors in which I whitter on talk about writing, inspiration, and why I write fantasy.

Do not, I repeat, do not under any circumstances start a chain reaction like dominos in the vicinity of your cooker which results your left hand being doused in the contents of the simmering coffee pot. Even if you are right handed.

My Sunday morning. What fun.

It's not too bad now. Still red and sore, a tiny bit swollen but I got it under the cold water tap right away. I can sort of type not. --now, I mean now! See what I mean? Only grateful the kids weren't in the room when it happened.

*sigh*

In other news (and thank GOD there is other news) British author Nell Dixon has an interview with me up on her My Space page. Nell's book Animal Instincts releases in March and is already attracting a lot of attention, so isn't she a star to take time out for me? The Scroll Thief releases tomorrow. The countdown is on.

Um... I'll just be over here hyperventilating in the corner.

*of course this should apply to everyone. But trying to write after doing this... er... doesn't really work that well...
