I miss it sometimes, but not enough to start drinking again.

I have an addictive personality, so I can never stop at just one. Or just one day.

Sort of "all or nothing" with me, which is a little annoying.

LOL.

One of the last times I drank, I was having a pub meal. I asked for a vodka and lemon. I got vodka and lemonade. Terrible drink!

I wanted, y'know, Lift or Solo - the actual lemon flavoured drinks - not lemonade.

Ack.

It was my favourite vodka drink.

In the last few years of my stint as a drinker, I didn't really have a lot of vodka... It was either beer, Southern Comfort or Jack Daniels, occasionally wine.

Hmmmm I thought this might be an Aussie/Kiwi thread, but I'm not seeing any kiwis in the last few pages.

Hullo! Didn't realise there was an Aussie/ Kiwi thread -- lovely to meet you all. :)

gingerwoman -- I just travelled to NZ for the first time a week ago and LOVED it; you have such a beautiful country!

I write various types of fantasy.

So far there's a comedic urban fantasy series (currently working on), a sci-fi/fantasy thriller, contemporary fantasy, urban fantasy trilogy, and I've been plotting out an epic fantasy lately.

(Only a few of those are actually finished drafts... Yeah, I start more projects than I finish.)

I'm also planning a non-fiction title for a few years from now, but it's a very loose idea in my head right now.

Australia's the place to be! Unless you live in Queensland. Then it's like living in an oven with snakes.

I love Queensland, although I've never been there for more than ten days or so at a time. I wish Melbourne could borrow some of its warmth during winter!

Wow, that's pretty diverse! Good luck with your current projects -- they all sound like fun. :)

Thanks. :)

I'm trying to get book 1 of the comedic UF series edited, and will soon be editing the SF/F thriller. I'm intending on self-e-pubbing both before I go back to Uni, so I have about 2.5 months right now. Thankfully, the drafts had been finished.

If I have time, I'll finish the first draft of the 2nd in the comedic series. I won't be able to upload that until the middle of the year though, due to the expected amount of homework. No way can I get it finished AND edited before I go back next year...

Thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. I've brought an esky full of beer and tim tams to share 'round.

To answer SkyeOhWhy, I mainly read fantasy / sci-fi and was planning on writing a fantasty novel. It immediately turned itself into a modern day thriller. Oh well, it seems to be working.
