It is pouring with rain and I have a flat battery...in the car that is although the personal one could do with some jump leads. This humidity is sapping. Sorry my American friends who are now snowed in and threatening to eat their pets. I guess we're never satisfied.
At least I've started writing again although re writing is more accurate. I am working on the first novel. It is going somewhere this year even if I have to publish it myself! Problem is there are no young people in it and no sex. Publishers like that. There is a litany of 'accidental' deaths though, that should count for something don't you think, with a publisher somewhere? I will press on regardless.
I am thinking of writing about my ex boyfriends, husbands and lovers. It would be a tragi-comic tale, mainly comic! It will need wit and verve most of which has etherised in the humidity. Never thought I'd say this but roll on winter!
Another of our writing group has her book published this year, on March 1. It is a memoir centred around Dutch paintings. It is beautifully designed and put together, and I can't wait to read it. It is called a Brush with Mondrian. Also another of our group has her story printed in the Australian Women's Weekly next month. She won $5,000.00 as a runner up. It's exciting to share in these successes, it keeps me going.
Having succeeded in the auditions, next week I'm sitting in at the radio station for the visually impaired, 2RPH. After that I become a 'reader'. We read newspapers mainly but also magazine articles and even stories sometimes. Our audience is about 150,000. Beats little old Mount Vernon where I did radio for a while. I've been getting the voice in trim, practising at home. It takes it out of you.
Meanwhile the Australian cricketers keep winning, my Fantasy Premier league soccer team has moved up to 15th place from 32nd and the family is in good health. What more could anyone want?
TO GET MY BOOK PUBLISHED THAT'S WHAT!!!!!!
