Blog 6 – From Paige to Performance – (Ms Paige Turner tells an intentional fib on each blog. This week win a copy of her latest play – ‘The Deadly Factor’ – if you are first past the post. Click on the title to leave an answer in the box.)
Mr Double Cream from Uxbridge! How could you suggest (and more – heavens above! and epheu! – which is ‘alas’ in Latin) that I intentionally left an ‘o’ out of Pookey’s name at the Crazy Bear! You bring the exclamation marks out in me! And I really was in Cape Town before Christmas. What would the Fish Hoek Scribblers do without my occasional injection? But back to the letter ‘o’. Both Caroline Francis and Zaneta Lawrence came in at the same time with the intentional ‘printer’s devil’ of a ‘U’ replacing the correct ‘O’ in Uxbridge as Master Mind’s true blue educational establishment. If you have it, flaunt it.
Caroline and Zaneta will enjoy free tasting at Creative Ink classes which I am pleased to say are bubbling over with only one place left on each course this term. And talking of devils – this week’s prize is a copy of my last play – ‘The Deadly Factor’– featuring seven of them – for being the first to deposit the spotted fib in the box below and not on my regular emails, thank you.
This week I would like to plug Writing Magazine and Writer’s News. I’ve been working for them for a couple of years now as both a home tutor and a monthly contributor and the staff are a delight to work with and for, especially the editor, Jonathan Telfer. It’s always good to keep in with editors. My twelve part series – From Page to Performance – has just begun in February’s edition so do subscribe on www.writingmagazine.co.uk The magazine is full of useful tips and news.
I realise that my blog has been full of a plethora of characters: Miss Connect, Miss Tea Tree Oil, Miss Fairy Tale Days, Ms Silver Screen Suppers, Miss Publicity, Miss Trial, Miss Juke Box, Master Mind, Master Sound Advice, Master Brylcream, Mr Red Hat and not least Mr Justin Case. I hope I am not suffering from crowding my page or stage and will get back to re-entries in due course but at the moment I am very busy with Creative Ink’s new project – ‘Dear John, Dear Anyone’: a launch of our first book this year and an international writing competition to find the best ‘Dear John’ letter, text, email or Skype (up to 600 words). The full details will be out very soon but get writing …
