Leaving Jeremy’s cottage, morning after Bonfire Night party

Yesterday Victoria emailed expressing enthusiasm and also reservations, and attached a document with a huge list of suggested amendments. I have to get my manuscript back to her when I have ‘polished’.

Presumably she will sign me up if I do everything she suggests.

So I got drunk last night. Brilliant party.

Walking home through my glittering village on this frosty morning I feel so happy. Life modelling is the perfect way to support my writing life. My best day-job ever. Today I am going to immerse myself in my manuscript.

Artist of the week

ALISON WOODS spent her first life as a scientist. Alison now paints and draws for pleasure in the Yorkshire Dales. Capturing the essence of our wild scenery is her main preoccupation, but (says Alison) figure work has enduring appeal and fascination. Alison attends the Grassington Group (details HERE: scroll down to Grassington).
