Apologies for the no-show yesterday – all due to the dreaded lurgy.  Feeling better than I did but definitely not ready for any decent singing sessions right now!  Yesterday it sounded as if I’d been on helium!

FAIRYTALES WITH BITE

I take a humorous look at Fairytale PR Failures tonight and, amongst others, look at the failures of Cinderella’s fairy godmother and those authorities who thought it not worth mentioning their woods had a talking wolf in them with a penchant for dressing up in human clothes.  It doesn’t matter what world you live on, that behaviour is distinctly odd!

THIS WORLD AND OTHERS

The Point of It All by contrast takes a serious look at self-evaluation. I share questions I think every writer serious about trying to get published should ask themselves.  Why?  Partly so you know what you are trying to achieve, but also so you are ready when others may ask the same or similar questions of you.  If you can think of questions to add, please comment!

Short post on here tonight so thought I would just repeat it here, rather than share the embed link.

The dreaded lurgy got me yesterday, so much so I sounded as if I’d been on helium for most of the day. Strongest thing I WAS on was tea!

To Southampton Writers’ Circle, whom I’m due to see tomorrow night to run a flash fiction workshop, I promise not to breathe all over you (!) but am glad to report voice is a lot better than yesterday so I won’t have to mime what I was intending to say! (Just as well really, I always was hopeless at charades).

To all who have had/are suffering from this wretched bug, get well soon!
