This blog was designed with a mind to track my progress as I attempt to finish writing my first novel and get it published. It is more likely to feature all the things that distract me along the way, namely my cats, shoes, obsessing over lots of lovely books (none of which I have written), the cats again, dancing, choir practice, clothes, more books, sparkly stuff, the cats, and the general perils of living life as a left hander.
Welcome to my blog!
I am a lefty. I write vertically, cannot use can-openers and was recently foiled by a right handed ladle (I will have my vengeance...) but more than this, I generally seem to approach life from a different angle. I appreciate that this may have nothing to do with being a lefty and may just be my own dysfunctionallity, but after earning the nickname 'Lefty-Flip' after a frustrating game of Guitar Hero, it seemed an appropriate title for this blog.

New Years Resolution? To shake things up...
Happy New Year! That's not me well-wishing - it's a direct order! This new year better be a happy one dammit! I am determined to make good things happen this year, or at least make stuff happen... I can't be responsible for the results!
So lets take a look at my shambles of a life then.
Number one - the Job. Well after taking two and a half years to get my foot in the door, I don't dare rock that boat! Maybe I'll start a rumour that I'm getting promoted/a pay rise and see what happens...
Number two, I am determined to get a place of my own this year. Don't get me wrong, I love my housemates, I just love my own space more! Am very excited about this, so much so that I am actually going to look at a place tomorrow... will be back to update!
Number three - The Book. the second draft is nearly done, I swear! Trouble is it needs a 3rd... possibly a 4th... Still, what else have I got planned for January but to sit indoors, eat chocolate and write? Hopefully I'll be posting that the 2nd draft is done by February (if my porky fingers will still allow me to type by then)
Number four - my weary weary bones. I have an appointment at the hospital on Monday and am viewing this as a good thing as I am done feeling sorry for myself! Really hoping it's not arthritis, but will be nice just to know what's going on.
And that's all for now! I think that's plenty to be getting on with.
While I'm in this chipper mood I best get off and do some writing!
Bye for now!

Fran Friday
Attention everyone. Due to crappy weather, and an ever crappier mood, I plan to spend the weekend under a duvet.
With this little Bean for company.
Thank you, that is all.

Hello? Anyone home?
A whole week with nothing to say??? Surely not!!!
Well actually I have had a lot to say for myself this week, sadly none of if printable. Suffice to say life has been somewhat chaotic of late and blogging has fallen by the wayside.
Next week will also be quite on the Lefty front because I'M GOING ON HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good times.
So, short and sweet as always on a Friday...

What can I say. The girl loves pants. Particularly novelty boxers apparently!
Bye for now,

Without further ado - My first post!
I have decided the end of the week shall now signify 'Fran Friday'
This is Fran, my magic cat (the mouse is called Florence)
The Story of Fran...
One day I wished I had a cat. Two hours later the neighbour knocked on the door announcing that they had found a kitten in their loft a few days ago, couldn't locate the owners and would I like it?
Yes. Yes I would.
She was named Frances Isabella Grace.
Frances, after Frannie Goldsmith in Stephen King's 'The Stand', 'Isabella' after Isabella Rossellini, and 'Grace' after Grace Kelly.
Though most of the time I just call her 'Bean'.
To this day we have no idea where she came from of how she managed to get into the loft!
As I say, magic cat.
