Clicking into Place November 22, 2007

Oh, isn’t it fab when things magically fall into place? Thanks to Nice Caroline, I found my way not only to Sarah Salway’s Leading the Dance but also, click click clickety-click, to Sarah Salway’s blog. And as I’m something of a serendipity sucker, I’m thinking the angels were with me when I got an email back that very afternoon to say I’d snaffled the last place on Sarah’s writing course on 6th December.

Needless to say, I am really quite excited by this prospect. I mean, yes, give it another week and I will be panicking madly, hyperventilating as I lurch round Tunbridge Wells trying to find the right clothes to make me look proper writerly but not a nitwit. And on 6th December, I won’t be speaking. Oh no. Gulp. I will be too terrified for any of that speaking spazzily malarkey.

I’m not sure how to dress like a writer, actually. I’m thinking macramé cardigan and aubergine corduroy flares. And a beret. And a necklace made from beads bigger than my head. That’ll blend me in perfectly, no?
