Debi Does Dulwich
Such fun meeting up with Debi again this afternoon at the Fox in S
London where she was leading a workshop for the East Dulwich
Writers' Group.
The Group has produced not one, but two anthologies of their own short stories all thououghly edited and illustrated by themselves - a tallented group. This is born out by the fact that their first volume came second in a national anthology comp, only to be surpassed by their next volume which came first!
The group's other claim to fame is that it inspired Debi to start writing about a decade or so ago - and as we all know she has never looked back.
It was good to see Whisks there, too, floating in from te Cloud and to meet Debi's other half and a crowd of other lovely folk from the writers' group. Maybe we'll see a few of them looking in here soon (Come on in East Dulwich; the writing's lovely!).
Needless to say everyone agreed that Debi gave us plenty of food for thought. A great workshop, and it was free! Thanks Debi and all my other new friends. We must do it again.

But what I'm really excited about is the news that Whisks has been inspired to continue the story she began. That's the sign of a real writer, one whose antennae are tuned to twitch at the least opportunity. Lovely to think that could come out of a small session like this one. Imagine: if everyone took away something, what a wonderful way for ME to spend an hour of my life.

And Debi? Thanks lovely. I didn't know your hubby was there?!?!? Although now Tony mentions it, the chappie sitting next to me did look vaguely familiar. Was that your alter ego who gave me his car keys? Anyone not understanding this? - jolly bad luck. Tee Hee. :)
Oh, and that's CAR keys, people, not room keys. It wasn't that sort of class ... You had to be there ...
Are we allowed to say here about the exquisite tome you shared with us all?
As for the 'exquisite tome' Debi? Well there's nothing to say really - just my beloved scrapbook of my dear little summer bird.
Good news. Sooner the better; it's been too long since we've read some of your fiction. It is fiction isn't it?
Word Count yesterday? 3,524 (Hooray!).
Word Count today? Zero. So far.
Trouble is, I was too enthusiastic yesterday - wrote a bit too long and the last furlong is rubbish. Delete, delete, delete.
