Another Day: FRIDAY, 25 JANUARY 2013

25th January, 2013
Another week over. I don't know how they come round so fast. As you grow older time seems to speed up.
Never mind, that's life. It's a lovely day despite my fridge/freezer having noisily gone kaput! It's just one of a long line of things that have seen fit to malfunction this year. The main thing is, that we are alive. As a Cypriot friend remarked when I asked him how he felt, he said, 'Every day I wake up it has to be a great day.' How true.

 Jessica Bell's new book 'Show and Tell in a Nutshell.'

I went to the Paphos Writer's Group yesterday and as usual enjoyed their company. As I remarked last week several are going to buy Jessica Bell's new book 'Show and Tell in a Nutshell.' The only question was how many? It had gone out in the minutes of the meeting and 11 are buying! The Secretary is going to the UK in 10 days; she'll have the copies sent to her son's house and she'll bring them back so that the horrendous amount of shipping is avoided.

Thank you again for your lovely, helpful book. I'm sure we'll be more effective in our writing as a result.
One asked if you'd be writing more self help writing books.
I hope you all have a great writing week.

My good friend Glynis has come to show me how to make my blog more effective so I'll try to put into practice the things she showed me. I did make lots of notes. That'll be good if I can master it. I'm not a natural with technical things. Watch this space.

This is an open letter to Jessica Bell.

Jessica Bell - author

Dear  Jessica,

I hope you read this. I received a copy yesterday of your new little book ‘Show and Tell in a Nutshell’ having been advised to buy it by my good friend Glynis. What an impact it’s had on my writing life already. I’m buzzing!! Having just read the introduction I felt very hopeful that I too could master this. When you’re starting you imagine that established authors haven’t had the same problems; they're super human.

I’ve been reading the content and although I know I’ll have to work hard at it, with this little book at my side, my writing will improve. I feel so empowered this morning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to help others who are struggling with the concept.

I go to the Paphos Writers’ Group on a Thursday and will be warmly recommending this book to them.

You really are a star!!

Warm Regards and Best wishes for 2013.

Annette
