A police officer came round today and I made a statement. They can't arrest him, though, because he didn't mark me.

They are going to caution him when he comes home and if he does it again, they will get me a harrassment order.

He has apologised. He won't like this, but now is the time to go hard-line. No more treating Jo like crap. I am going to FORCE him to respect me.

The publisher has been doing a text draft layout today and we've been discussing cover designs. I told him my ideas for covers, which was really exciting. This has to be the most interesting thing I've done in years.

My friend says she's going to buy me a bottle of champagne when I get the final publication

Jo.
