The Story of Only Fools and Horses

Watched enthralled about how comedy writer John Sullivan began his career.  Talk about the mind being alert.  Time was knocking on so forced myself away from the TV and will watch the rest tonight.    I love British comedy and a sit-com is an idea that has been tossing in the back of my mind for yonks.  I have an idea.  I read up on the How etc.  England has so many fantastic comedy actors and actresses and well, why not give something a go!  The BBC is well, a dream ...


Meanwhile, got good feedback of my assignment. Unfortunately the next one involves writing some sort of straight-laced historical thing. Oh dear lord.

Blimey, how long has it been since I wrote?   November 15th I became a married woman at 43.

Cley Windmill.

Kangaroo Land  was bundled off to Hilary Johnson and duly returned in November.  Sadly, noted as 'dated' (1996 quirky travelogue) it won't sell.  I shall change those little errors and send it out still - meanwhile I have almost completed assignment six for Writers Bureau and plan to get the course completed once and for all.  I think there are two websites I would like t get published in: Powder Room Graffiti and Simon Seeks. It's nearly Christmas and I've had tons to do with making crackers and decorations and putting together hampers, last of the pressie buying and chilling a little more.  I will close the Avon account in January as I take on so much and need to relax a little more - always tired- so that's one thing to go ... and if I am honest, I encountered bitchiness from other reps/sales leaders and I really don't need it. 

Teeth, Cars and Weddings

Nightmare visit to the dentist occurred on Monday - a filling.  Was assured that now dentists have silent drills and yukky putty to numb horrid injection pain.   Yukky numbing putty was just that and never felt a thing when the needle plunged in.  Silent drill was NOT silent and instead very noisy. In fact, found myself raising a hand in some sort of pleading manner because the damn drill hurt! I believe I even managed to arch my eyebrows in a downwards form and add a sorrowful expression to my eyes - must have worked because Mr Dentist Man stopped drilling away and immediately jabbed me with another needle.  Twenty minutes it was over and I had a mouth that felt like a brick was in it.  


Ahh, cars... the Kia has gone.  Sadly. Lovely 1.2L car. Must remember to write to Kia, (Korea?) to tell them.  Had some sort of problem with me driving 55mph along the A47 and on would click the management light - explains why the hooter would honk of own accord, and the indicator link would stay on when switched off.  Kia though, assured me all was ok!  Apart from the silver paint falling off, yeah, it was a fab car.  Now have a Mazda 3, and a 1.6 litre engine.  Still drive 55mph (to save petrol) but boy, can I overtake a lorry now! No missing  the junction because I'm still overtaking.  I feel Up There with the Big Boys now. Oh yes.


And the wedding ... in 10 days I will be married.  It'[s a small wedding in a windmill but crikey, still so much to do.  Am currently on-the-bottle with the stress of it all - well a small tipple come evening. Goodness, takes a lot to remember important wedding items such as the corkscrew opener ...

Hilary Johnson Author's Advisory Service

Well, I've gone and done it!  A letter is en route to Hilary for a final quote on Kangaroo Land and first-time synopsis.


The humorous tale of Kangaroo Land is uploaded on my web - unsure whether having a book online puts off mainstream publishers?  Hmmm ...

Synopsis for Kangaroo Land

I've written the dreaded synopsis and will leave it a week and read it again.  The updated version of Kangaroo Land is updated on my web thanks to Jimmy Boy at Milk Design, and I am saving hard to send to Hilary Johnson's Advisory Service once and for all! Feel more confident to send now! Must start printing off...

Also have had some good reviews on Authonomy ... must get back on there though.
