As Monday's go, today hasn't been too bad at all. Oh, apart from having to go back to the school due to a forgotten swimming kit.
On the writing front I am feeling quite pleased with myself. My Christmas story is coming along very well. I have found 'a different angle' and the story is progressing nicely. Obviously it still needs work but in spite of my earlier doubts I am enjoying writing it.
Last week I met up with an old friend of mine who lives here, in Milton Keynes. We had a good gossip and probably too many cups of coffee but it did lift my spirits. It's good to see that some people don't change and are just as you remember them. This particular lady is fun, sincere and I will always remember a great kindness she did for me many years ago.
Also last week I got a call from the local hospice volunteer co-ordinator telling me she had forwarded my details to one of the shops. Not twenty minutes later I received an email from the shop manager offering me a Wednesday morning shift. Needless to say I almost bit her hand off. Having decided I needed to get out of the house a bit more this will be just the tonic I need. As some of you will remember I used to work in a local charity shop when I lived in Watford, which I loved and missed so much when we moved. So, think of me on Wednesday and wish me luck.
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.
