In the home straight, flashing towards the post
I’m in the home stretch of Tara Sharp book 2. Crossing the finish line on Friday. I need to hear the spectator shouts to get me home. Whoever shouts the loudest and bestest encouragement gets a character named after them in the next book. I’m listening …

Ha! Great promo! If I can’t write a book, why can’t I be IN one? I bought two copies of the first book; imagine how many I’d buy if my name was in the second… Are the galahs going to be in book two?

A-a-a-a-a-and they’re racing…..
For the early lead … that’s Great Plot Points first out of the gate, Engaging Characters away well out of the gate, Supanova Distractions under the whip to move up alongside. Sentient Aliens settling in nicely on the rail by Socio-Political Intrigue and Feminist Treatise moving through between. A length and a half behind, it’s Medication, Multiple Deadlines and Teetotal running neck and neck, with Tara Sharp boxed in behind a wall of horses.
Moving down the backstretch, Great Plot Points and Engaging Characters holding well, but Supanova Distractions is dropping back, he’s making a shambles of this race, he’s gonna have to wait until next year for another look in. Sentient Aliens, Socio-Political Intrigue and Feminist Treatise keeping well in behind.
And Tara Sharp has found a gap. She’s in top gear now, as she ducks past Medication and Teetotal, giving them the slip under the rail. And now she’s past Multiple Deadlines, eating up the course with her giant strides. The pace is wicked! Tara Sharp on the outside now, flying past Sentient Aliens, Socio-Political Intrigue and Feminist Treatise. This beaut little filly has taken third, and STILL she’s flying for the finish!
Great Plot Points and Engaging Characters are keeping up the pace, they’re making her pull for all she’s worth, but she’s gliding around this track now! On the final straight now, and Tara Sharp’s taken second place, she’s ahead of Engaging Characters as they come up the last half furlong, and she’s neck and neck with Great Plot Points!
It’s Great Plot Points! Tara Sharp! Great Plot Points! Tara Sharp! Great Plot Points! Tara Sharp!
Oh, there’s no way to call it, ladies and gentlemen! The crowd have gone wild! We’re waiting on the photo finish now… and… it’s Tara Sharp! The clever filly from Perth has made it by a nose, and I’m sure her owners and trainers will be delighted with this result.

I have no idea how to beat any of the above, and chocolate isn’t a bargaining chip anymore. *snap*
OO I know. I’ll read you a page from my desk calendar… “The procrastinators calendar”
I keep it around as a reverse psychology thing. Annnyways.
This just in! According to a scientific study by scientists, Americans waste an average of 20% of every day just goofing off. But people lie about these things to researchers, so if they say 20%, it has to be at least 30%. If you feel you are wasting less than 30% of your day goofing off, stop what you’re doing immediately; you’re way behind. Catch up now!

Goodness where to start! All your messages were sensational. I love Bec’s cheerleader vid, but she’s excluded because she’s staff. And Fel (Dove)… what the? How did you find that? Everyone else, you were super but there can be only one Highlander. Janette Dalgliesh, step up to the plate. You will have a character named after you in the next Tara Sharp novel.
