Evidence that Fran has written a people's book, as opposed to one for aliens or meerkats

Dearest Followers

If you've read my book 'Being Miss' on Amazon Kindle and liked it, would you mind giving it a vote on the People's Book Awards for me to see if I can get pushed up the ratings?  You are very kind.

Go here to vote    http://thebookawards.com/awards/being-miss/

I'm writing the sequel to 'Being Miss'.  Watch this space.  You may have to watch for a little while, so bring your knitting, but keep watching anyhow.

      It was back in 1984 someone last called me chuck. I think it was in a fish and chip shop in Harrogate, something like that. I like it.

    I'm a very bad person. I voted even though I've never read it. I just clicked on the stars. Is that all it takes to vote? If I'm going to cheat, then I want to make sure I do it right. Being Miss needs to come out as a real book for me to read it. My eyes get too tired for me to read e-books in addition to blogging and editing. I have photophobia, and it doesn't mean I'm scared of photos.

    Love,
    Janie

      I take it from this that you trust me to have written a good book! And what you say about it needing to be in 'real book' form really gets me thinking. A lot of people have said the same and I really ought to get on and sort it. Thanks, Janie!

      I have complete faith that you've written an excellent book. I'd love to see it in print!

    I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure it's good. I haven't even downloaded it yet, but it's on my list....my long, long, list.

    I love everything you write but , since they didn't have a space for that , I just voted for your book , instead .
    Meanwhile , I'm sitting knitting like Mme. Defarge , as instructed . It's to be hoped that you write quicker than I knit , mind you ...

      Thank you! Keep knitting ... I'll do my best, but if you're knitting a scarf, it could be about 3 miles long by the time we get there ...

Reasons why Fran is desperately in search of earbuds

Image
My try-to-get-fitter walk in the fields today was a silent one. I usually listen to the radio through earphones but have lost one of the soft earbuds and nothing spoils a walk more than having hard plastic nudging up against your fragile tympanic membrane. The BBC's  'Woman's Hour' is a brilliant programme but loyalty has limits.  It was disconcerting, walking in silence. Listening to radio distracts from the disturbing reality that my legs are propelling me in forward motion because, if I think too hard about this, I frighten myself.  Today, while walking, I had to listen to my own thoughts.  And now I've listened to my own thoughts, I remember why I like radio better. The inside of my head is like a wastepaper basket.   Be grateful that I only offer you a brief excerpt.  Oh, look, that bird is - / Where did I put that mark scheme. I'll need it for - / My shoes are getting muddier./ Maybe mash with the fish tonight / really muddy / The trees are defin...

More evidence that the wrong consonant makes all the difference to a famous book title

More typo-lit, one of my favourite genres: To Kilt a Mockingbird - a tale set in the Southern States of America in which a young family move into the area from Aberdeen.  The children are found dressing the local wildlife in tartan and have to be taught that clothing innocent victims in bright material is not acceptable.  The little girl (Scot) says, 'Shoot, Pa, that's the darndest thing I ever did hear!' and there is surprise all round at her adoption of the local dialect in such a short time. To Kiln a Mockingbird - a tale set in the Southern States of America in which a wise father teaches his children that to put an innocent bird into a red-hot oven, converting it into an attractive china piece for the kitchen, was bound to upset Aunt Alexandra when given as a birthday present, and if this was indeed their intention, they deserved a whipping.   They don't get the whipping; the father can't stand Aunt Alexandra either. To Bill a Mockingbird - a tale set ...

Reasons why Being Me is going to be Was Being Me for a while

I'm now on my summer holidays from school, dear friends, and I think there are two ways these 7 weeks could go. Option 1. I start out with the intention of chasing more agents and publishers for my books/beginning a new novel/writing some articles/trying to pitch a new column/entering some story and poetry competitions, but after 5 minutes of enthusiasm decide to blog/read blogs instead because it's just TOO DIFFICULT.  I therefore spend hours blogging and then find it's bedtime. Option 2. I decide to have a break from the blogosphere so that I can give myself as much chance as possible of actually getting past that 'it's just too difficult' point. I know myself too well.  So, I've decided on option 2.  You're a great bunch of followers and I hope you'll stick around so that when that I start 'Being Me' again in September or thereabouts, you'll be looking out for a seminal post about a stuffed animal or an incident on a local bus .....
