I tell him when to go home, so that I can go to bed. What he does when he gets home is his own business. Fortunately I can go to bed when I want for the next couple of nights, because he's got his children with him so he won't be coming over here.
Sunday afternoon, Sarah came round and we had a nice time starting work on my Literary Cat jigsaw. She left about 7, and a while later I got a call from Dave R asking if I needed any more help with the jigsaw. So I said yes. The jigsaw is now mostly done, and I had a very late night !

Nicky,
Will attend to shortly. Hotmail doesn't like me at the moment.
In advance of reading, 'Squirdle' is entirely Sarah's character, and the book follows on from her story 'The Bodyswappers'. I don't think this need be read before 'The Nextarillion', as references are relatively few, but we hope to have 'The Bodyswappers' available for e-mail before too long, having saved it from the extinct version of the Fforum.
You may or may not be in a position to comment on Squirdle, if so talk to Sarah! I resurrect Simon's thread 'About the Nextarillion' whenever I get requests, for readers' convenience.

80,000 words in 60 days while doing 60 hours work a week and moving house. Oh, Sarah did three chapters. Don't tell me about struggling artists. And that's just N3. With N1 & 2 included it's about 97,000 words, or novel length, which was my aim. Trouble was I only got a third of the intended content into it, these books will write themselves --- or is it all that hardware in WOLP?
Prolific? My ex wife was technically capable of conceiving on four days while we were married. I have two children. Nuff said.
