You bloggy buddies have given me such awesome encouragement, corrected my spelling, awarded me with cool buttons, offered feedback and been real friends. So I'm beginning a journey today: Nan, the Writer.
What do you think? Any advice? There are some cool writing websites out there that I've been checking out. I'm going to the library tomorrow, to grab some books on writing, freelancing and so on. I'm thinking of doing a course. What do I need to know?
And, say I was going to write a column on moving to Bournemouth for a local paper. What would I call it?? Do you know, I love the name of my website: "Things I've Found In Pockets" was a flash of inspiration, something I didn't even have to think about. But now, I'm stumped. I want something witty and brilliant and totally amazing (like me!). "Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates" is taken, alas. So, here's a chance for YOU to win a prize, my friends! Suggest a byline for me. If I decide to go with your suggestion, I will write a guest post for your blog, all about your awesomeness! Or any other topic of your desire. Anything at all. As long as it won't lead to my being arrested.
Hee hee! This is so exciting!

I think you would be (are) a great writer. Go for it!
It's in your genes. You're born to do it.
How about
"There are no chickens in Bournemouth"
or
"From de bush to de beach"
Ooo, I really like "From De Bush to De Beach"!

I love them all! Keep 'em coming! You are all inspirational....
i've written and edited freelance for about... 25 years now? time does fly. Doesn't always pay well, but sometimes it does. Then you land a book deal! Well, i haven't. But i think you could. I could too, someday, who knows?
You are superb writer -- such a nice touch, and such a good way of blending the serious, the whimsical and the domestic. it's a gift.
I like Nan from Trinidad, myself :)
Yes, a superb writer! Starting today, when someone asks you what you do answer: "I'm a writer". Good for you, Nan! Doing what you love is a great way to make a living.
How about: "Island Hopping".
Yay for you! I think "From de bush to de beach" is an awesome byline...but titles have never been my strong suit.
At the risk of sounding self-promoting, you need to check out The End of the Book just published by Bridle Path Press. It's a good resource for writers at any stage in their careers.
i LOVE reading your writing!! you are a fabulous writer...not a bad way to start a job =)!!!
What about "And now we wear trousers" :-)
Sharon win! I love that!! And you already are fabulous :)
I like for Island hopping!
Tales from a small Island? nice double entendre huh!
Mum's suggestion: "Out of the frying pan into the freezer" One day she'll actually comment!
Bunty wins!!!
Sandy toes to fuzzy socks has it for me, Sean yo are very creative to come up with all those, must be cause you married to she, LOL!
Anyway, Nan, go for it, you have the talent and most importantly the attitude, mindset to do it.
I ready to start the facebook fan page for you
