Found the first pirated copy of Tease yesterday. I feel like a proper author now! I’ve joined GoodReads as Mina Kelly, and changed my LibraryThing name to MinaKelly as well. Pimped the book everywhere, and one of my friends has already read and reviewed it (and she bought it! If I’d got my head around this whole author business I’d have sent her an ARC).

Having dropped back to part time work, I’m currently working a 6 day week. It’s technically part of the time, right? It’s front of house work, so no more internet or phone all day. So if I’m hard to get hold of, that’s why. I’m applying for another full time job at the moment, which would involve starting work at 7AM some days. But also Romans and dinosaurs. Those are things I’ll happily leave the house for before the sun comes up.

I also have conjunctivitis, which means my housemates have had to put up with me whining about my eyes for a week, and the pharmacist seemed to think I was about a bit of a hypochondriac until I mentioned sometimes I lose the ability to focus properly, at which point she tried to point me at my nearest doctor post-haste. I don’t think it’s that bad (hey, I’m typing merrily away, aren’t I?) but I will attempt to make use of the NHS at some point next week if I’m ever not at work. In the meantime I have some eyedrops that sting, which means they must be working. I don’t need to be able to see when I’m working with swords, right?
