Some of you will know that I have been struggling to write a personal profile. To be honest my first few attempts were pathetic. The profile has been requested by the organisers of a competition I am entering. As the submission date is looming I thought I had better stop playing around and produce something worth reading.
Oh, Google, how wonderful you are! I found a site which not only makes suggestions but also gives you examples - a small find but so appreciated. I would like to say that I now have a short profile/bio, whatever you choose to call it, which is, I think, actually quite good. Why, oh why did I not think to do this before. Still as the old saying goes 'you learn something new everyday'.
While I was lurking in the shadows of Google I also found details of a short memoir competition. Memoirs are not a genre I have had a lot of practise with. But I quite fancy giving it a shot, it's being organised by Fish Publishing. If any of you out there are interested, give it a go - a change is as good as a rest. 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.
