ARRRGGGHHHH!!
So the Good thing is, well I see it as good is that since getting back down to work since Swanwick I have written 1.5 short stories. Yes that's right 1.5 - I do have anew kitten to watch out for!!
So that's the good. The Bad is really bad. As an ex secretary you'd think I could format documents standing on my head wouldn't you? But no, not this particular story I'm working on and the worst part is that I don't have a glue as to where I'm going wrong. At the risk of sounding like a spoilt brat 'it's not doing what I want it to do'.
The Ugly part is my mood...ooh very ugly. Really I could quite happily sling my laptop through the window and myself afterwards. It's driving me crazy. I thought writing the stories was the hard part. I really have had enough for today, formatting that is. I'm off for a nice coffee and a scream !!
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.

I'm Back...did you miss me?
I have moved house and attended the Swanwick Writers Summer School since I last posted, a lifetime ago or so it seems.
I'm so out of step with everything I'm finding it hard to know where to start to fill you in.
Let's start with Swanwick, for those of you who are familiar with this wonderful school I'm sure you will agree it is wonderful. A packed week of inspiring courses and many friendly faces, evening speakers and activities to enable you to let your hair down later on. This year was my fourth year in a row and although Swanwick will always hold a special place in my heart, I feel it may be time to try something new.
What with the house move and the long school summer holiday it has been difficult to fit in any writing time. But now we are settled (still a few boxes to go) I need to hunt down my mojo and put it to work.
As always, wish me luck and I promise to post soon.
