Back with some great news...
I've been offline and not writing here for a few days as I wasn't feeling too hot; headaches and looking at computer screens don't go well together. Much better now and I can now proudly inform you all that my book has a publisher and is coming out next summer - we're just looking at slots so I'll come back with which month soon- which means I am going to have to go hell for leather and work 10 hours a day to get it all done. That's fine, I enjoy writing, and the really hard bit is done now, anyway.
I am celebrating with a small lager before I go off to teach the dance students in fifteen minutes. I expect there will be quite a lot of wine guzzled after class tonight with the girls!
Oooh, it's all so exciting! Thank you all for coming with me on this journey, for all the emails and comments and texts. I'll be dedicating the book to my blog readers, amongst others - so please have a drink for me and for yourselves, and for blogging, democratising publishing, and giving us all a way to publish and be heard. Couldn't have done it without you.

Hurrah! Congrats, etc.
And too damn right you got a publisher - from what I saw it was a dead cert. Who are you doing it with? Who? Who?
Congratulations - that is brilliant news Rachel and I look forward to buying a copy! By the way, your description of the birds in the rain the other day was lovely - you're a born writer.
Enjoy the wine tonight!

Wonderful, Rachel.
Maybe a preview excerpt before (un-democratic) publication, via this space ? (Conspiraloon-firewalled, of course.)

Congratulations, Rachel.
Since jacking in your 9-to-5, your blog writing has gone from strength to strength, and you have also become a most welcome regular guest on 18 Doughty Street TV. You are one of the few broadly left-wing writers who I have time for and to whom I am willing to listen to, although I may not mostly agree with your views. Nevertheless, wishing you all the best.
Rachel. I haven't been over for a while (not really since the anniversary back in July), but I'm so pleased for you. Great news which you richly deserve.
Oh Rachel, thats such fabulous news. I'm so delighted for you.
(Sorry I'm a bit behind the times, I'm trying to catch up now I'm back online).
