Thanks, Daisy Waugh is impressive, as indeed were her parents. I would interested to know how you get on and or read some of your stuff. If that's ok. I have never been able to write suspense, I suppose I never quite believe in the scenarios I write unless they are from my own experience. I...

I agree with you about doulas. I have also been to a lot of the Guardian courses on the correct way to get an agent and submit your manuscript which cost a lot of money and don't really take you much further. The people involved always nod enthusiastically and say yes when the course is going...

Thank you, you are very kind. Apologies for the late reply I work in the daytime. I would be interested in hearing what you are writing about. I find myself as older person looking backwards trying to figure out what things meant or whether they were supposed to mean anything. I am researching a...

Thank you for writing back. You have a very strong writing voice, and you sound real. I know you said earlier you didn't want to write about the "dreaded rheumatoid" stuff but you should. You would do it better than some of the wooden platitudes I have read and heard from others. The paragraph...

You too. Thank you. I keep seeing things after peoples names like moderator and venerated member. What do they mean?

Me too. all the best

Hello Katie for writing back. Myrtle? I don't know why, its nothing to do with Harry Potter ( I haven't read it). It just seemed to fit. I wanted something that reduced my arms influence on my life and Myrtle arrived. Here's how I explain it in the book.. "Why do I call her Myrtle? Well, it...

Thank you Howard, well its like it says on the tin. Everyone has been very nice.

Thank you David. I completely agree disabled people should write about anything they want. I have written plays and another novel all of which are not really to do with disability. The thing about Myrtle was suggested to me by the Doctors and nurses who helped me at hospital saying "you are...

Hello Sorry I am not very tech literate so I put my earlier post on without a prefix. Endearing, annoying, you choose. I have never done anything like this before but my wife thought it would be good for me to talk with other writers rather than living in my own little cupboard. I am an...

Hello I have never done anything like this before but my wife thought it would be good for me to talk with other writers rather than living in my own little cupboard. I am an author trying to get published. I have written a book about living with disability called Myrtle's Progress. This is...
