My day started strangely but pleasantly, bouts of broken but deep sleep followed by the news that I was accepted to do another test.
I tested a single bluetooth earbud in white and now that I am used to wearing it and having just broken my old bluetooth overhead headphones I wanted a full pair.
I applied for the second earbud thinking I wouldn't get it and was surprised when I was approved it's in black but that is no real importance to me.
I also ordered some more clothes to brighten and spruce my wardrobe up. Most were quite cheap so I didn't spend that much when my credit ran out just over a tenner but I had to cancel one top as I ordered the wrong size.
I can normally shop half asleep but I was trying to make sure everything was in order while qualifying for free delivery and I still didn't get it but considering the savings, I wasn't too bothered.
I tried to run a bath today to discover that my boiler is yet again on the fritz. I don't know why it keeps acting up with all the regular service checks it gets but as it is too late to call the repairers I have to wait until tomorrow morning but at least I have my heating pad to ward of the cold.
I was just cold today when I was out and about not in any great pains for once so I took the opportunity to do the things I had put off and bought my friends birthday card and did a few other things and came home without any stress or strains.
I was even smiling as this peculiar daydream entered my head. My book was popular and littered with attention and an agent arranged a meeting with me.
She was quite direct and brash and told me in no uncertain terms that I would need to be agreeable to significant changes and one of them being that my main character that I lovingly created would now be male.....She said that I needed to be open and flexible.
I thanked her for meeting me and said maybe this initial event will lead to possibly more agents but I was not prepared to change the essence of my book and the vision I had created for anybody.
I'm female that's why I wrote female heroines, how would I even write for a male specimen, I don't know how their warped minds work.
She said I was foolish to give up all the money offered and that I would later regret my hasty decision but again I just merely smiled and said you underestimate me.
I have bags of charm and know how to use it. You won't be the first publisher to approach me.
I have integrity and I stand by my book exactly how it is and with that she left and I returned back to reality.
It's a pipe dream that it would reach that famous state but it's forever going to be my baby. I like my blogging and writing style and the natural warmth it exudes.
I've just learnt how to be honest while keeping the really personal aspects of my life hidden, utterly refreshing from the long ago girl who was clammed up and silent.
I matter.
