New laptop, the old one literally started breaking apart. The plastic casing is disintegrating. And it can't keep up with new websites anymore. But hey, over 12 years, I'm proud of it! Got the sewing book done on the old laptop, and now it can lay to rest (after I've downloaded necessary files, like photos from all those years etc).

I've been struggling with the eco book project for half a year now, but f-i-n-a-l-l-y a couple of days ago it started to roll forward, in my head I mean. Got that writing flow feeling, where eating, peeing and socialising are irritating necessities instead of pleasant breaks. Despite there being piles and piles of eco tips books, and flocks and flocks of eco tip webpages, not every angle is covered. I'm aiming particularly to bridge the gap between wanting to do something and action in pushing local authorities on environmental matters, contacting politicians etc. Lots of people would like to be active citizens but are too busy to research where to send what e-mail etc. so I'll cover that.

it does help that the publisher treats me very pleasantly as an established author, which by now I guess I am, but I really enjoy feeling like an author-ity ha ha ha. Tomorrow I'm going to get my author photo taken, professional makeup and all, looking forward to that.
