I am writing
this during a brief break from Berkhamsted Writing Competition duties where
the breadth of topic and style of the hundreds of entries leaves me quite
breathless. Indeed, imagination is such a blessing. Not that I can say any more
until the judging is complete so I must ask for your patience until the prize
giving ceremony in June.
Yet numerous
other duties and events have been occupying my attention of late. Only last
week I attended a book launch where Chiltern Writers member, Teri Terry, talked
about the second of her immensely successful trilogy, Fractured. She will be
appearing at the June meeting of Chiltern Writers and anyone interested in
writing for teenagers is welcome to come along.
On the
subject of CW, I have now discharged my 3 year secondment as Chair and, with 6
years of Committee duties behind me, rescinded my responsibilities at the
recent AGM. I confess, I’m rather looking forward to turning up to meetings without
a care or forethought.
Now, what
else? Oh yes, my feature about St Mary’s, Wendover, along with the delightful
series of annual concerts, Wendover Music, was featured in the April edition of
Buckinghamshire Life magazine. My blogs for Hertfordshire Life and Hampshire
Life continue to offer a splattering of mirth and I have a number of imminent interviews. Actually, one is very imminent so please excuse me while I grab my notebook and a brace of HB’s . . .
