Hooray, a writing diary!
And it's all thanks to my friend and fantastic techno-wizard, Wendy Wootton Web Supremo- thank you, Wendy!
What a fantastic day to begin my writing diary!
I often say that the very best part about writing is the friends I have made all across the world- and it's true. Today I was with some writing chums a little closer to home.
The Pudding club began just about a year ago- the main purpose is to eat pudding of course, but we also discuss the ups and downs of a writer's life.
We are a mixed group of published and non-published authors who share the same love of pudding- sorry, writing, and it is a great excuse to climb out of the writing cave and see the sun- or the inside of a wine bar, in our case.
After a bowl of treacle tart and custard even that blank screen seems positively alluring when you return home and sit before it bloated and content.
And now the conference season approaches, and I want to go to all of them. They are the best fun you can have, and a bit like Christmas it's a great opportunity to catch up with everyone. Trouble is with time always pressing down on me I need travelling time to be nil. 'Beam me up, Scotty'- preferably free of charge!
How do you choose which one to go to? Answers on a post card please-
Only joking!
In my next post I will share some of the chat we had over our lunch, which ran the gamut from congratulating one of our members on the fantastic honour of being nominated for a Romantic Times lifetime's achievement award, to the joys of being a man writing as a woman...
Happy reading and writing to everyone out there!
Love to all, Susan
