Harry, it doesn't sound simple to me. Can we still go to York? (I haven't seen any info about this year's festival so far.) Get advice by choosing in any particular month to pay the fee? How do we know what's availiable that month if we don't have access

    Hel Harry, it doesn't sound simple to me. Can we still go to York? (I haven't seen any info about this year's festival so far.) Get advice by choosing in any particular month to pay the fee? How do we know what's availiable that month if we don't have access to the information? And what about the editing/mentoring etc. Will that still be available? Will the cost go up dramatically if we're not paying the 30 pounds? And what about if it drags over more than a month? Do we have to pay for all the months that a mentorship or editorial service lasts? I'm totally confused.

      GippsGirl Hello Hel. As you have made such valid points, it might be good to copy and paste them into the blog so they are captured for Harry to see. Otherwise, they will drop off the front page very soon and be lost.

    Scary stuff, Kate. And you write it so well. Must've been terrifying to be caught up in a Viking raid.

    Hel, your comp entry has the feel of a fable - Aesop, maybe. Lovely.
