Ho-Hum.
So far my new plans have not been out of the cupboard for more than a few days - as you can tell from my lack of posts. BUT, plans are plans and they are there until I use them or change them. I have my reasons of course.
Cerys started Secondary School this week. It knocked me off my feet a bit. There she was looking smart and lovely in her blazer and tie (et al) and all I wanted to do was have a little cry. We bring kids into this world with a view to helping to make responsible and considerate adults out of them. We want them to grow, be healthy and make their own choices - but sometimes it's painful. Having raised three children you would think I would be used to this but it suddenly struck me that, this is the first time in sixteen years I haven't had a child in primary school. It brought me up a bit sharp I can tell you. All too soon she will be off to college, university etc...
Enough emotion. I still have a story under construction aimed at TABFF and I am considering entering the NAWG competition as well. I can't deny the prize money would come in handy especially as last week I filled the car up with unleaded petrol instead of diesel - need I go on.
So don't lose heart, pop in and see me from time to time I may have some good news! Watch this space.
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.
