Welcome back,
Sorry, funny enough I was caught up in trying to get all my main characters into the same general area. They are all in Aberystwyth at the moment, apart from Lucifer,who is checking out llama trekking centres and getting his designer shoes ruined. Fluffy however is going to be trotting happily towards Shropshire leaving a trail of bodies in her wake.

That sounds like great fun, rowanw.
For me, well little Laking Tyke (our sm. black mongrel rescue terrier from Limoges S.P.A.) has made yet another appearance and I now have a 5th story about him. ( For children aged 5/6/7 yrs.)
This time, after picking up a toad on his walk and getting a horrible taste in his mouth, he woke up in the night to find that a copy of a book had fallen off a shelf and all the characters were spilling around the living room. It was 'The Wind in the Willows' and the scene was the battle with the weasels at Toad Hall, so Tyke joined in to fight the weasels. All OK until Dad switched the light on and there Tyke was - barking and standing on the coffee-table. Oops! Tyke had to make up one of his rhymes to explain it. - I forgot to say that he makes-up rhymes too.
Otherwise, I was delighted to discover today that the local paper has published a short story of mine on the theme of people being isolated by lack of technology and know-how, which has been the subject of a lot of letters recently.
I'm plugging away at putting a novel I wrote in the 1970s onto the computer and amending it as I go - up to 8K words now.
On Monday morning I'm starting on a 6 week course on Creative writing (characterisation and plot) run by the L.A. and coached by a professional writer. I get on free because I'm O.70!!! But it'll cost me enough in parking fees.
I've finished, sent off and have had accepted by a small local mag. a couple of short articles on our church (very early Norman).
That's me at the moment. I'm mulling over a short story on the theme of Pirates (homework set by the writing group I go to).
No wonder I'm a bit tired, I hadn't realised I've done so much on top of my local What's On stuff. Good to be busy.
I'll let you know about this course. :)

jourdain, I don't write in the night, I just worry about how the plot should be developing instead of sleeping as I should do. The reworking of what I've got is aimed at keeping my spirits up when I see it improving atom by atom. My aim is to make the written words invisible, so that the reader will get through a few pages without realising that she is actually reading. When I think it's good enough I shall have nothing else to do but finish it. All the work I'm doing is just my apprenticeship, and I'm so old that I've got to make it good first time. I dread to think about making it all a trilogy, but that's what it'll have to be if I finish the current one: I have to have something on the go to keep living.
Good luck with your work; you seem to be very busy and productive. I don't think I could manage to have more than one thing on the go. It's bad enough for Mrs A having me doing the one I've got: I seem to have two lives to cope with - the real one and my invented one.

Not been writing much lately due to family stuff. However The Queen of hell is wandering around Aberystwyth, my sexy pathologist and his cute friend have been looking for clues and talking to a dodgy detective ,one fallen Angel is up to the top of his designer shoes in llama poo, and two other angels are about to kidnap a couple of scammers to use as bait. 12,000 words in .. And saint Isidore of Seville was last heard of searching the dark web. I think that is where I am up to...
