I've just finished Ema works for the OU. (Last week). And now another deadline looms. This time for Cafe Three Zero. We'e starting work for our third collection of stories called Random. We've each been given a stimulus for the story by a randomly selected other writer. At the minute therefore, I am trying to put myself into the midset of a single, female teacher. This could be interesting. Am currently trying to assimilate all the things I've learned fromt the course I've been doing the last nine months. Quadruple check punctuation is one. Secondly I've decided I need to let the characters lead the story and not the other way round. Once I've got used to that then I can start putting some twisty plots together and filling them with believable characters. Tha main thing, though, is just to keep writing and writing, so here I am doing just that.
P.s. The Jubilee weekend has just passed. I'm no royalist per se but this weekend Her Maj showed why many many people are. When I'm sure she'd rather have been at her husband's side and celebrating was probably the last thing on her mind, her duty told her she had to go sit in a coach . A big gaping hole at her side where the loony old bugger should have been and has been all these years. And still she waved and smiled for the thousands upon thousands that lined the streets when she must have been soooo tempted just to say bugger this I'm the Queen dontcha know, I'm going to stay here with Phil and look after the racist old sod, you lot can just bugger off. She earned my respect for that. ( Might have got more if she'd actaully cancelled, who knows?)
