That was a bit more like it! I managed a chunk of ‘Z’ drafting yesterday, plus there was Ripon Writers’ Group in the evening. Unfortunately our booked speaker was unable to make the meeting last night so we had an evening of members reading their own work – including a 15-minute play about a bunch of retired gents chatting on Harrogate’s ‘Stray’!
With only two days to go until submissions close for New Contexts: 5, the volume of admin increases. More today and tomorrow without doubt.
One of the members of the writers’ Group is a beta reader for 17 Alma Road. She told me last night how much she was enjoying reading it, which was great to hear!
A chunk of ‘life stuff’ will take out the first part of today, but this afternoon I should be able to do a little work on ‘Z’ – and I’m sure there will be more NC:5 submissions to pre-process.
This evening sees June’s Contextual poetry reading event – they come around so fast! Lots of people have asked for links to the Zoom session this time around, and so I’m hoping for an attendance of 25-30, maybe more.
PS: I just checked the stats for this website and June has been my best ever month for views. Thank you!
