Hi All,

I have the second book blues - although my whinge is going to seem completely petty and useless - can someone please throw me a lifeline?

Ok - here's my story. My first novel will be published in April 2012 - yay! I am really excited. But I am desperate the write my second novel and have the stories lines jumping in and out of my head all the time.

The thing is that I can't finance it. I wrote my first while I was on maternity leave and had the financial resources behind me to do it.But I don't now. I have to work full-time, be a mum and finish the edit on the first so I am exhausted to say the least.

Any ideas on how I could get some funding to write the second?

Si
