I can't resist breaking my holiday silence to say 60,000 words have been written. Hurrah.
Fia asked me here how the writing was coming on. I sort of smudged the issue; didn’t really answer. There are only so many times I can say ‘Oh, errhm, I’m not writing at the moment. Husband grumbles about my posts with ‘writing angst’ in them so I do try to keep them to the minimum.
(Shhh, I shouldn't be here because I am meant to be writing while everyone else has gone scuba diving/snorkelling...)

About Me
- Jenny Beattie
- I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community. Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.
What am I reading in 2016?
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
The Year of Taking Chances by Lucy Diamond
Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne
