Fresh from having the courage to send out a short story to TLFF Australia, I intended to sit down and address any half written stories and sketch out ideas which were demanding my attention. But that's not what happened. I caught sight of a competition requesting a memoir based around or in a garden. And there it was, it formed in my head before I'd even finished reading the rules and reg's. So far I have a 1,000 words. For something I have only just discovered it is coming along very nicely and I'm enjoying being able to create imagery, in my opinion colourful imagery. In the words of the cheeky Della Galton "Don't say green when you can say emerald" - very good advice.
I have a few errands to run this morning but the afternoon is clear - so memoir, here I come.
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.
