I Just Met Margaret Attwood

[Calicogirl]

Pretty much that's it, just very, very fangurly about it. Nice perk to a visit home :)

[naomi24]

You bumped into her in the street or met her formally?

I watched a documentary about her. A strong lady.

[Lie-in King]

Nice future name-drop - did you have a chat? :-)

[Calicogirl]

She was at the house of one of my friends. They're hosting some authors and she was one of them. We were there for purely social reasons and I had no idea she would be there although they always have something interesting going on there. Very, very happy she's one of my favourite authors. I'm a bit squealy in fact. She's doing talks in Herefordshire currently apparently.

[naomi24]

Very nice.

[Mamyalynne]

Lovely to meet someone whose work you greatly admire.

[Calicogirl]

Yes, I said very little, working on the 'better to stay quiet and let people think you may be a fool than open it and remove all doubt' theory but now I'm thinking about all sorts of interesting things I could have asked her :)

[Eleena]

These fleeting moments Calico! ;0)

[agchristie]

I've got a signed first printing of The Blind Assassin (Booker Winner 2000) ;-)

[ladybirder]

Sorry AG, that doesn't beat meeting her;-))

[agchristie]

I concede that Ladybirder ;-)

[ladybirder]

Never mind. Good try;-)

[Maydup]

Aww I think I would be a teeny bit scared by her!

For those less lucky she is at a cinema near you in September.
