During the past couple of months or so since my last blog post, a whole lot has been happening in this little corner of the world. For a start, a few natural disasters have been conspiring together to wipe out Queensland - torrential rain and the resultant flooding, rivers bursting their banks and pouring out into towns and onto rural properties; an inland "tsunami" gushing down the mountain from Toowoomba after a torrential downpour, washing away cars, trees, houses, people, and anything else in its path; and now Tropical Cyclone Yasi, a category 5 cyclone as severe as Hurricane Katrina. At this early stage, no lives have been lost - a testament to plenty of prior warning, adequate safety precautions, and most importantly, the grace of God.

Thankfully, on my little hill overlooking the ocean in the Wide Bay area, the disasters have given us a wide berth. No flooding, no cyclones - just a bit of rain, and plenty of mildew and mould to greet me as I entered our closed-up house after three weeks of holidays.

And in the midst of it all, I've still managed to write. Nothing as prolific as a whole novel, or even half a one. But at least, by plodding away, I've managed to write part 1 of my YA romantic fiction manuscript, and plan the start of part 2. I'm aiming to have ten chapters finished by the end of March, and perhaps even a proposal completed to send off to some unsuspecting publishers or agents.

Will keep you posted. :)
