I am so sorry

Life has gotten in the way of my writing. I had been planning on getting one chapter ready before going on maternity leave, but work got in the way. It was a bit hectic and well, too be honest, I wasn't sure what was going to happen with my position as I left. Then I was pretty sure that I was going to find the time to write whilst being home with  my 2 year old whilst waiting for number two. Well, what was I thinking?! Yeah, and then number two arrived, 3 days after due date, and now I have a new love in my life. The most adorable little daughter a mother could ever dream of.

But my head is spinning with ideas, but it is not easy to find the time to sit down and write them down when having to care for two little ones. Good thing is that the hubbie now has vacation for 4 more weeks, and hopefully I will be able to finish a chapter or two in that time. I'm not leaving my stories unfinished. Do not worry about that.

I'm not sure how many of my readers even read this blog, but hopefully one or two has found their way over here. :P I might just have to publish an author's note...

Ch. 38 of TTLBLAH is up

Yes, it's been a while, I know. But I'm just having some trouble getting to where I want to with the story. It's soon finished, and it's kind of sad to see a story finished in a way, though very satisfactory when it's at last done. I really do hope I have the time to finish this story before my second child is born... :P

Sneak Peak:
Chapter 38: Tête-à-tête with Dad

Thursday went by in a lazy fashion. Elizabeth was jetlagged and took refuge under a large oak tree in the garden with a book. William was left to himself and decided to contact Peter regarding the ball and Elizabeth's idea about how to get back at Caroline. Peter sounded excited over the idea and was eager to get started. Peter already had a person in mind that could infiltrate and get Caroline to spill her guts if only they could get her into the ball. William was fairly sure that wouldn't be a problem.
"I need to speak with you after breakfast," Mr Darcy said to his son on Friday morning. William thought it just as well to have it over with. They had a lot to talk about. He had some great ideas for the company, but he guessed his father wanted to talk about other things.
"I'm just going to drop Lizzie off at the Bingleys, after that I'll be all yours," William answered. Elizabeth was going to have lunch with her sister and Mrs Bingley and then hit the town to find something to wear to the ball. William was meeting her for dinner and a movie later that afternoon.

Ch. 37 of TTLBLAH is up

So utterly delayed, once more. I apologise most ardently to my dear readers! But after that review I kind of lost what little inspiration I had, and then I thought the chapter wasn't good enough... Oh well. It will have to do.

Sneak peak: 

Chapter 37: Surprise, Surprise

Elizabeth was not a boats person and she regarded the old boat with the large swan in the back sceptically. It really didn't look that safe.
William smiled reassuringly. "This boat has been in the service of the Boston citizens since 1877."
"That was what I was afraid of," she said.
"It's quite sturdy," William promised and held out his hand. "Would you please get your ass down here?" As there was a line starting forming behind her, Elizabeth really didn't have any choice but to reluctantly climb down into the boat. She immediately sat down and peered over the side.

I will try my best to update more frequently, but I'm not making any more promises I cannot keep.

Does Col. Fitzwilliam have a first name?

I got a very interesting review on The Thin Line. The reader was a bit upset with my writing. Especially that I had named Fitzwilliam Peter and not Richard which she (or he) said is his name. I have now read through the chapters where he is figuring and  I cannot for the life of me find any reference to the name Richard. So I googled. Nope. He doens't seem to have a given name, but, is frequently named Richard in fanfiction. So there. I can name him Peter if I want. Ha! The reason I have named him Peter is because of the character he is in Much Ado, i.e Prince Pedro.

The reader had a lot of other points on where she (or he) didn't get my fiction. But that's okay. Most of it I can claim artisitc freedom of. I mean just because Georgiana was 15 or more years younger than Darcy in the original, she doesn't have to be that young in my fanfic, right?

If you want to read the review in whole, please visit  The Thin Line and click on reviews. I did write the reader a nice reply, since the reader prefered to be anonymous I had to write a review myself. :P
