        <item><title><![CDATA[Nice Week]]></title><description><![CDATA[I’ve had quite a nice week this week. I took some time off from work to spend with my son. Three days, just me and him doing father and son things. It has been very, very pleasant.<BR/><BR/>
Of course, it was difficult going back to work on Thursday – it always is when you go back after a holiday. But it could have been a lot worse, so I shouldn’t really complain.<BR/><BR/>

Thought you might enjoy my recounting it to you.<BR/><BR/>
For some unknown reason (I find reasons are often unknown in dreams) I was on a half day at work. But rather than enjoy the afternoon just chillin’ or shopping or what not, I returned to my old school for a Geography A level lesson. Which itself is odd since I didn’t do geography A level....]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/11/i-had-a-dream.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:32:07 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/11/i-had-a-dream.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time to Push On]]></title><description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I was quite euphoric as I formally turned in Eternally & Evermore for submission to Phaze. At the time I knew I really needed to kick on and get stuck into the next piece but, I suppose somewhat inevitably, I didn’t. I justified not cracking on by telling myself I deserved a bit of a break after finishing what is, I think, my best work to date.<BR/><BR/>
So it’s been a while...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/06/time-to-push-on.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:49:05 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/06/time-to-push-on.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exciting News]]></title><description><![CDATA[Another week goes by and it’s another week where I haven’t been able to find the time to blog as I’d have liked. But I’m not going to dwell on it – Life gets in the way sometimes, all of us have to accept that and I’m no exception.<BR/><BR/>
Shame though, cause it’s been another week where there have been a number of news stories that have really, really annoyed me. I’m starting to think I’m not...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/02/exciting-news.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:33:21 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/02/exciting-news.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Busy Week]]></title><description><![CDATA[It was a busy week last week, as you can probably tell from my lack of any blog posts. It’s a shame because there was a lot I wanted to talk about last week, most obviously the appearance of BNP leader Nick Griffin on the BBC’s Question Time panel programme.<BR/><BR/>
In hindsight, it’s probably a good thing I didn’t get to talk about that last week as most of what I’ve read in the lead up to...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/26/busy-week.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:12:16 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/26/busy-week.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Submission is in. Now, the waiting game]]></title><description><![CDATA[This morning I have ‘officially’ submitted Eternally & Evermore to Phaze for consideration of publication. Now, as they say, the ball is in the publishers court and all I can do is cross my fingers and wait.<BR/><BR/>
Before I submitted I re-wrote the book’s blurb and the verses i told you about last week that come at the start of each section of the story. The new versions are below. I also...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/19/submission-is-in-now--the-waiting-game.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:35:57 +0100</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/19/submission-is-in-now--the-waiting-game.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[X-Factor Twins]]></title><description><![CDATA[Just a quickie. Simon Cowell’s X-Factor is back and the live shows are underway. This year we have the worst act to go through to the live shows in the history of live television, ever.<BR/><BR/>
But damn, they are funny.<BR/><BR/>
The X-factor twins. Or is it the X-files twins. John & Edward (or Jedward). Man they are terrible.<BR/><BR/>
Still, here is a link to their performance of Britney’s...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/19/x-factor-twins.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:03:19 +0100</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/19/x-factor-twins.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chapter Headings]]></title><description><![CDATA[I must admit that I’ve never been a big fan of chapter headings. They seem to me to take far too much time to think up and don’t add all that much to the story. That said, I had a funny idea last night. What if I include a dialogue quote at the start of each chapter rather than a heading in Eternally & Evermore.<BR/><BR/>
In theory, there should be a line of dialogue in each chapter that nicely...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/16/chapter-headings.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:20:51 +0100</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/16/chapter-headings.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Looking Forward]]></title><description><![CDATA[So, I’m really excited about getting Eternally & Evermore to a state where I think I can submit it to Phaze and see if they’ll publish it. I genuinely think it’s the best thing I’ve written to date. I know that there is still work ahead, editing is never easy and even since I ‘finished’ it the other day I’ve had thoughts about areas I’d like to amend – some pieces of dialogue in particular I...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/15/looking-forward.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:52:42 +0100</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/10/15/looking-forward.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[How good it feels when you think you've got something 'right']]></title><description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be able to make a guest posting on Antonia Tiranth’s Blog. That’s in addition to the post I was able to make on the Virtual Book Tour blog last week. If you haven’t read one or both of those posts, then please feel free.<BR/><BR/>
But more importantly…<BR/><BR/>
