Blog 20 – Ladies who Launch – On each blog Ms Paige Turner tells an intentional fib and the first in wins a prize. This bi-month it’s four free handout sheets of the winner’s choice.
Well done to Caroline Francis – first in with my incorrect spelling of ‘Miss Havisham’ and of course I went to a ‘grammer’ and not a ‘glamour’ school but one could be forgiven for not noticing the latter error. So a 400 word free assessment for clever Caroline, also a clever children’s writer. Phillip Sheahan aka Mr Double Cream from Uxbridge – what were you doing in Blackheath of all places?
So … just two weeks to go until the ‘Dear John’ missive writing competition deadline on July 31st and Creative Ink Publishing has made hundreds of pounds for the Heart charities. It has been exciting getting Dear Johns posted through my real mail box and reminds me of when we used to get Christmas cards before the advent of festive emailed messages. But I am looking forward to Phase 1 of this venture merging into Phase 2 which will be rehearsal of the best of the missives for the ultimate film.
The Beaconsfield Library has booked Patricia Sentinella – author of the ‘Dear John, Dear Anyone …’ collection which has been selling swifter than baby bottom butter – and me to read on Friday 30th September at 11.00am and then they booked me for Wednesday 12th October to give a talk on all the Creative Ink things. Hence my title – Ladies who Launch. I really like this title and feel that someone should permanently employ me to write titles.
The builders are in tomorrow for the bedroom extension.
Jan, you’re having a kitchen extension, not a bedroom extension 🙂
Hi,
I think you’re fibbing about going to ‘grammer’ school, and actually went to ‘grammar’ school.
Kind regards,
Alice Nixon.
All that talk about the baby bottom butter makes me wonder if maybe you are having a bottom extension rather than a bedroom extension?
