Went to hear Jane Clifton speak, she is an actress, a rock chick, now writes books, she has written two crime novels but the one we bought (got sucked in) was the one of her chronicle of her moves. "The Address Book" Army life made her move often, and then she was nomadic anyway, she decided she would revisit all her homes. The first one was in Gibralta.
Anyway, I was so enthralled, as she also keeps a journal, which she said lately is full of misery, that struck a chord. I can relate to the odd misery write up!
Every time I hear an author speak I become fired up and want to write more.
Well at 8,30. Have already been out and taken our paintings (9) to the Regent Theatre, they will be hung and judged today, and on sale tonight. Very rarely do much though as artists from all the place show work. Have sold only two in eight years, been 'Highly commended' a few times, and husband has sold one and had a special prize for a drawing.$300. last year I did far better at a small art show, won money there.
Apart from half a block of chocolate son brought and some brownies we are chocolate less, might have to do something about that!!
