Writing Time

I am still not making time to write. Where does it go?
I have been taking Writer's News for nearly a year. They offer a free entry to a writing competition for new subscribers. I have less than a month now to find a story to enter. Must make time.

New Novel

I am happy to say that now that the clock has gone back and the mornings are darker I am writing before sunrise. I write until it is light enough to go into the garden. I have written 30,000 words so far. Well done me.

Promoting myself

Writers in the Grand Ouest Region of France — Brittany, Normandy and the Pays de la Loire

Now retired, from a multitude of jobs which include teaching and desktop publishing. I call myself 'Jill of all trades and mistress of none'.
I have lived in Brittany for 7 years. When I moved here my intention was to write and paint but time is gradually being taken up by gardening (I have 5,000 square metres). I still have a full life swimming, Breton dancing and joining in community activities. I am the secretary of JUBBIL (Jumelage Breton Bilangue). We share language and culture and I often write the report of our events for the local paper.
Being close to 70, I wanted to publish my experiences and thoughts on a number of women’s issues, in particular adoption and depression.
I am a woman of very strong beliefs and will always take action or speak out when faced with inequality or injustice. Perhaps for this reason, I have been called judgmental.
The play I wrote in the 90s was performed in my home city in England and was well received.
