Writing

I have been writing so much lately, short stories and poems and my novel that I rarely have time to write this blog which proves it works!! Reading at the moment also stimulating 'Orlando' by Virginia Woolfe very inspiring. I saw a performance of this some years ago and I didn't understand a word of it; so I never wanted to read the book. I found the book amazing. I am suprised that anyone would want to perform something which works so well in words and is mostly experiencing someones internal thoughts. I found an old copy of Charles Dickens ' Le Grillon du Foyer' in French. It must be one of his early books. I have never heard of it before.

computer success

At last I have found out how to write longer email messages without the page expiring. I had learned how to do it before on my laptop but didn't realise how to do it in the internet cafe.
I have written a short story and dug out two that I had written years ago. I typed them uo and now I am goitn to send them of to competions. Wish me luck. I normally say nothing when I send stuff away but it seems not to influence my success or failure
