sudoku 5 September 2008
Oh dear, you know when someone knows you too well, has the MEASURE of you? Tis painful. Last week I made a chance remark of some nonsensical nature to Richard declaring he couldn’t know what decision I’d make about something-or-other and he said ‘oh I know you alright, I’ve been married to you for 11 years’- EEK. And then, today, I sat with my editor of 9 years and she pointed out the bits of my latest novel that are too much about me and not the characters. There was one bit about sudoku that stuck out horribly and which now has a big red ‘cut it out’ line through it. I’ll admit I did try to shoehorn something in about how it’s not worth trying anything other than fiendish or super fiendish sudoku once you get the hang of it and even that’s not enough mot of the time: you want the one where you have to add them all up too – sudoku with sums. All gone now, in spite of my various justifications for it.
I had a great notes session, though, and am VERY excited about this next novel. I am already SO proud of it. I hope you’ll like it too. It’s now scheduled for January 2009, so not long now…
Oh, it’s called MISSING YOU ALREADY
