Feeling sorry for yourself never is a good idea. I gave myself a shake and told myself that If I don't try, I will never know - and if I want to stop trying then I don't really want to be a writer. Which of course I do. So, here I am getting on with it.
Today I was reading the Australian stories my friend sent to me. I'm not sure what I expected but really they aren't that different to ours. Obviously, I was being a touch naive, not a Kylie, Bruce or Shelia to be seen!
I finished a story I had been playing with, it's an attempt at humour - and I must admit is rather daft in places but I like it. In due course I will send it out to TABFF or even That's Life (Australia) and see what happens.
I still have a few more stories on the boil, one is chic-lit and the other a twist-in-tale. So, there really is no excuse to me wallow in self-pity why there is work to be done.
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.
