A reprieve!

Hi gang,
I have been given a reprieve. I went to Melbourne with my hospital bag packed and the foot and ankle specialist took a close look at my bone scan and decided to give me three months taping my foot to see if the bone heals by itself. No crutches! No pain! It was a huge relief although I still have to be careful with my foot. No fancy heels just yet. So instead of surgery I went shopping, that's fair enough right?
I am working on a new Presents after putting aside 40 pages of another work. I don't normally do that but this time I felt I needed to write afresh. The characters are so real this time I know I did the right thing. I have to write from the heart, if I don't believe in the characters or the plot I figure no one else will. I'm up to 40 pages in any case now which only took three days so I feel much happier. My goal is ten pages a day, it's a lot I know but so far I've done more each day.
We had a full day of rain yesterday which was lovely for our garden. With summer around the corner we really need the rain to dampen things a bit otherwise we could be in for more bushfires.
Have a fabulous week everyone.
Cheers
Melanie
