h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello Ian,

Is the site confusing you a little? We can work through any questions you might have this evening.

I'm sitting her smiling to myself....

Pauline

Yeah - it's confusing all right. I can't find the under guide, and no agents have as yet come waving large cheques....but the comments are good....

You'll get the hang of it. And if you get your work out into the world the cheques will follow...

so true

though for today i am trying to make copious amounts of said currency by more tried & tested means....

though it's hard on a monday....

work......

Thanks for your input Ian,

Flattery will get you everywhere - well almost...

Flame

well right now it is taking me to a conference on the irish economy .... followd by


my life rocks!

Thanks for the motivation - (that you didn't even know you'd given me) to finish The Witness.

After reading your work - I was motivated to finish my own.....

Hello Ian,

You have received some very positive comments about your work - and all richly deserved.

Did I mention my writing classes start up again this week?

no you didn't mention......

i am going to a class myself this year too .... on novel writing for people with half finished scripts!

when are yours on? and what happens at them?

Oh yes .... i wrote my first newspaper column today! .... well, it's joint with me & the reporter conccerned ... the Sunday Tribune ... an Irish paper ...this sunday....

The class starts again tomorrow evening. we meet every week, and use several different methods to inspire and encourage us to write during the evening.

This seems to work fairly well. Several of the writers have gone on to develop a complete short story from the limited writing time we have. We review on the 3rd and 5th week, as there are too many writers to review in one session. We tried that - it was all too much like hard work.

Congratulations on your first newspaper column.

I'd best make sure I don't end up in it.....

well if you were irish i could interview you about your personal ...errr... finances....

Well if we write our award winning story together.....who knows eh?

Good morning Ian

Hope you didn't oversleep this morning. I was up at the crack of dawn!

All is well.....


Flame

i was thinking of you this morning....

you ought to listen to "so this is goodbye" by stina nordenstam ... quite amazing

by the way, i got a post on my journal entry for today that i can't understand at all... ... can you illuminate me?

I read it. Understand it? Nope, lol.

I think I'm on a different planet to some around here....

Well there's certainly more going on in your space then anything that even went on in mine. Where did I go wrong?

you're just more self effacing than i am ....

other than that you rock...

Good morning

Forgive the lemon

Looking forward to seeing you in the post.....

yes... i have tried to be very gracious! ....

having a mad day .... work to do ... journal to write... emails to answer.... clients to see....

thanks for encouraging me in my lemon-aid campaign
