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.

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

Jean Wild

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.

Latest

Lost and Found

I now have access it was partly my fault and partly because the num lock was on and I didn't think to check.

emails

I have lost access to my jeanwild hotmail account. If anyone out there has ever used it can you let me know because then I may be able to retrieve it if I can tell hot mail who sent me emails.

Summertime

I have made a decision. I can't write in the summer when there is so much to do in the garden and the days are long. I have shelved all writing projects of which I have many in my head. I shall attempt them when the days are shorter and I waken at 6 am when it is still dark and I can write for three hours before sunrise.

Friend's Success

Both of my writing friends have had success. One in the Mslexia Annual Short Story Competition where she won second prize and the other won second in a Children's Story Competition in which there were 2,000 entries. I am hoping that the rule of three will come into play. 'Good things come in threes.' And buses. So I am hoping that I shall be the third winner.
