    I know the feeling. I'm trying to write a contemporary saga set in the Lake District, but by the time I get it finished it'll probably be a historical one!

    Just got back from holiday. Can anyone tell me if they had a really positive agent one to one?

    Hello Maz. I'm going to the conference saturday only - but I'm thrilled to hear I will have accomplished all that you mention by then!!! I'll be gone by the time you arrive, but hope you have a great time. I haven't been before, but looking forward to it.

    Hello and welcome to the Cloud. Don't worry about age - it's immaterial.

    Thanks, Tony - not sure I'd have admitted my age if I realised it would be up there in bold letters... My friends actually call me Mad Maz so you're spot on there. Was just reading your profile when I goy your message!

    Welcome, Mad Maz (I've read your profile).
    Saw your pic and thought, another writing Mum joining us. But the Cloud says your more likely to be a grandmother - hard to believe.
