This has been a very exciting day as for the first time in my life I have had something published! It is not exactly in the Booker league but feels like it to me. The article is Guilty Pleasures and is an expansion of my post on Mills & Boon on this blog. It has been printed in the NewBooksMag, a magazine for reading groups and I just sent this piece in to the editor in response to the question What Guilty Pleasures (reading) do you have and will you admit to them? To say I was surprised when I was told it would be printed was putting it mildly.
I was contemplating signing up for an Open University short course on Writing and was dithering but now this has given me confidence to have a crack at it. It starts in November and will be fun and interesting to do when the nights are dark, the curtains are drawn and summer has vanished.
There will be no stopping me now I have the bit between my teeth, or should that be, the pen between my fingers?
