Tonight is my last night with Watford Writers as I will be moving on 28th July, which is also why I have not been posting, too busy packing. As I have mentioned before Watford Writers is the best writing group I have ever known, truly there are some very odd groups out there. I shall be sorry to leave them although I will pop back from time to time.
Everything seems to be changing so quickly I'm not sure I am keeping up. I will miss Watford and the friends I have made, especially the 'L's' - I will fill you in on them one day soon. Enough for now a it's the first day of the summer holiday I also have a ten year old to entertain.
About Me
- Rae Argent
- A fiction writer and mum to three great kids, also lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams. In spite of that mushy comment I do not write flowery romance - I like a nice helping of real life grit in my work. I have a Diploma in Literature & Creative Writing from The Open University and remain a member of the wonderful Watford Writers, despite moving on several times. I am a big fan of Swanwick Writers Summer School which has taught me a great deal and where I have made many great friends. I have yet to reach the dizzy heights of becoming a published superstar but will continue to send my work out into the world.

In a Muddle
So, basically I spent most of last week researching houses, areas, schools and Dr's in Milton Keynes and hopefully as most of that is now done, I can set my mind back into writing mode. Although last weeks activities did prompt some ideas for short stories.
As I have said before when I'm not able to write I miss it but that said trying to get any meaningful writing done in the midst of planning a house move is a nightmare. But the real issue is that there is no easy way of moving. You would think in these modern times with heart transplants, plastic hip joints and even success in sewing limbs back on the process of moving would have become a bit easier and less time consuming. I'm not saying I have a solution for the problem but I may well start thinking of one to perhaps to present to those lovely dragon on Dragons Den. I'm sure they'd love it - if it was feasible. So with my thinking cap on and my brain distracted once more, off I go to either completely and radically change the process of moving house or to actually write something. As ever, wish me luck.

House Hunting
Oh what a time consuming task! I was really pleased with myself earlier last week as I had completed the editing AND sent out my short story. What has happened since? A small amount of time spent on writing and a huge chunk of my day's spent house hunting in MK.
There is a house out there for us somewhere, in fact, this evening I am viewing two - sounds good doesn't it. Carl favours one and I favour the other. Let's just hope that one is more outstanding than the other so the boxing gloves don't need to come out.
All this house hunting has given me an idea for a short story (Yay) watch this space.
