Writing

Do you remember the other day that something exciting dropped into my lap? And I flatly refused to tell you what it was? I think I just ignored your pleas in the comments. I am hard of heart…

On Wednesday I promised to come by and tell you about my adventure when I went ‘off piste’ in Bangkok, into Thonburi, where the maps remain oddly blank.

The thing is, I can’t tell you about my adventure… It wasn’t just to chase away the blues. It was also a research trip for a commission. I’ve been asked to write four personal essays on adventures I’ve had in Thailand to be included in a book to be published this year. And I have to say, I’m very excited.

Other good news on the writing front is a blog post, Virtual Coffee Mates, that I’ve written for the Writers' Hub is online. Do please go and look at that – comments are very welcome.
