As a result of the intensive work happening on my book, I’ve started noticing things. I’m seeing sentence structure more than I used to in things I read- and I actually found myself editing out the ‘that’s on occasion from a short story I read today, just to see if it would still work. Most of the time, it did…

I just mentioned this to George, and her reply was “Welcome to my world.” It turns out, as a result of me basically using her as a sounding board for my writing, she now can see sentence structure in everything she reads, and it sometimes annoys the hell out of her. She also sometimes gets vexxed at the ways she’s ended up changing as a result of being around me- and sometimes will simply glare at me and shout “You’ve turned me into a Geek!”- in the best possible humour.
