Thanks

I just want to thank my very first commentator on here, Yvonne Richardson.  She has taken time to comment  on my Blog in her busy day and I am most grateful. Thanks Yvonne, much appreciated and welcome, I hope you come back again soon.  Good luck with your new Author page and with your Short Stories which I have really enjoyed reading.  Yvonne is a member of the Writer’s Group I belong to called Writers for Welfare and we both have stories included in the Anthology due to be published soon in aid of The Norfolk Hospice.  More information about a bit later and nearer publication date.

Busy times

Gosh what a week!  One thing after another has gone wrong with my computer and various email accounts, just when I am supposed to be working on my new Author Page – more information about this when I am ready for it to ‘go public’. Then I went to have a Skype conversation with the family and the mic packed up on me – or more to the point my mic via Skype.  So a trip to the computer man, Simon, and a lot of fiddling and it seems OK again. By the time I had done all this and a lot of other exhausting stuff including several bus journeys and more aggravation, I am now able to update this. The Anthology in which I have two short stories is about to be published by Moonworks Publishing and this is exciting.  Lots of messages flying around with progress reports from the wonderful Joe who has been working behind the scenes on the layout and arranging PR opportunities, and  from Kevin who, like me, is Admin for the group.  All getting very exciting. When things have moved on further I shall let you know.

Thank you

Thank you to Yvonne Richardson for being the very first person to post a comment on here.  I know how busy she is and so I am really appreciative of her time and effort to do this. Yvonne is a member of the Writer Group I belong to, Writers for Welfare.  We are contributors to a new book to be published later this month in aid of The Norfolk Hospice.   More information on Writers for Welfare and the book as soon as I am able to confirm details. The whole group is so excited at the publication of the book and will no doubt be posting on their own pages soon enough.

A wander in the Woods

a view across the fields (c) Jane Risdon 2012

 As soon as the mist cleared and the sun came out I decided to go for a long walk the other morning, through the woods and across the nearby heath which is also a Wild-life Reserve.  I am so lucky to live near plenty of places to walk; woods, heathland and also through the grounds of some of the most […]

Witchery afoot in my Blog account!

Spent all morning trying to access this account and kept getting password rejections and then user rejections and yet nothing has changed as far as I know.  Totally confused by all these obstacles which prevent me from getting down to writing and updating things. Life is just one huge password/pin number hassle and then there are the secret questions and […]

Whitney Houston RIP

  I had the best of intentions today, set up this blog – everyone has said I should have one – and then get some writing done. I need to revisit my Ms Birdsong Investigates story and do some edits and some rewriting.  Having been away and then ill for the best part of 2012 I really need to get […]

Welcome

Two years ago I had the opportunity of writing some short stories which (eventually) I want to compile into a book.  These stories are called ‘God’s Waiting Room’ and are based on various situations arising whilst waiting for the bus in a little village full of  wonderful characters.  The stories are mainly funny but some are touched with some sorrow.
