I'm now approaching sixty (rapidly). Unlike mirages and the state pension, my age doesn't recede as I approach, so old age must be somewhere just over the horizon.

If asked for one word to describe myself, I'd choose MASTODON. (Middle-Aged, Static, Tired, Overweight, Disagreeable, Open minded and Nocturnal.) I'm also in danger of becoming extinct and have hairy ears.

I retired from working in education (or indeed for anyone else ever again) at the end of 2012, so the Government would call me a NEWT. (Not in Education, Work or Training.)

I now write full time when not diverted by the problems involved in moving house. That should be done by Easter 2013.

Not a couple in the biblical sense, but still... separately they are incomplete. Together, like Kirk, Spock and Bones, they make a complete being. Look at long-married partners. Individually they are two-dimensional. Together, they are a different enity, one to be reckoned with! (less)

Yes, I am currently about three-quarters of the way through the first volume in a fantasy trilogy (epic fantasy? You tell me) called the Saga of Eregon. Elves and dwarves but with shifted stereotypes, firedrakes and dragons but with sound phsyiology, and people from both mediaeval and current backgrounds (with memory lapses) and a half-assed world creation and mythology to back them up.

Strangely, it's the people who give me the problems :)

It will get better, I hope. (less)

Local arts centres and readings

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (from  most of you) there is a small town.

In the small town, there is a cinema.

This is where you go to watch films. Duuhh!

It’s also where you go, apparently, to read your works in progress. They have open-mic nights and writers’ workshops.

This Sunday, I’m going to read something of mine to an audience. It might be one, it may be hundreds.  This is a

Liz Hi, Paul!

Don't think I've said hello in yonks. So, how you been?

Paul Hi Jaimey!

Just snowed under with work. No time to write your review or have a look at your flash fiction story. No time to write anything, not even my blog. Just endless work :(

Never mind, I'm back, and getting geared up for the Autumn creative push.

How's life with you? You seem to be very productive with new books and WIPs and other things.

Best regards,

Paul


Jaimey Hello, Paul. How's life lately? :o)


Barbara Boyer Hey Paul; haven't heard from you in a while and wanted to swing by and say hi! Hope all is well in your world and you are enjoying your vacation and writing. Best B
