Urgh

Well I had to finish the last post because it had been hanging around in my edit section for over a week, but let me tell you, today I feel utterly depressed, for reasons large and small:

1. Still no news from The Flying Dutchman and I'm just too embarrassed to email/call again as I've made the last two contacts and surely you have to know when someone's ignoring you?
2. Lunch with my dear writing friend whose book fate is getting even worse - knowing he's going through the same has not cheered me up much.
3. On a different subject, I am pining for another baby and for reasons too depressing to mention, it's just not going to happen anytime soon.
4. We got burgled last week (while we were all asleep upstairs) and the car was knicked along with various other things.
5. Some unspecific funk that's been hanging over me for weeks now.

Anyway, in an effort to jolly myself along, here's the synopsis for my book - I'd love to know what you think:

"No matter what you hope for, life doesn’t ever turn out quite how you expect it to: as friends Giles, Jo, Aimi, Simon and Max find out. At their heart is Katie Higgs, new mum, aspiring artist and incorrigible dreamer, who is suddenly in the last place she ever wanted to be when she is unceremoniously dumped by Max. Inspired by Alison Pearson’s “I Don’t Know How She Does It”, this is the story of how being a stay-at-home mum isn’t all it’s cracked up to be either, especially not when you’re single and unemployed; but how with wonderful friends, more than a few glasses of wine and a lot of soul searching, you can find your way again and even get the life you wanted after all."
