I did a lot more research yesterday about magazines to apply for a position on and have a favourite. I also may contact a journalist friend and get on a newspaper. It's all what publishers want even prior to publication in order to get a writer's name out there. This morning, I planned to take my friend - who is originally from Trinidad and nearly 80 - to the bank in her motorised chair but when we had got ready outside the gate, she realised she had forgotten to re-charge the power on it the previous evening, so we had to re-arrange for next week.
I know some people who read this blog are literary-minded, so if you wish to get a free download of highlights from the current Guardian Hay Festival, lasting an hour, go to http://www.arts.guardian.co.uk/hayonsky before July 18. You can also catch a daily Haycast at http://www.guardian.co.uk/hay2007
I am rushing to go to see my good schoolfriend sing with her band now, along with another good friend who is also a poet (or should I say poetess?) It is at a place in North London called Monkey Chews! At least the music will be better than the name! I have volunteered to help with our choir's jumble sale on Saturday as Ania will be there and it will be fun to preside over the hordes of public (the great unwashed! Hehe). What a lucky man I am to know so many lovely ladies!
