Hello Tania, I have been frequenting your blog of late and I thoroughly enjoy your posts. As a start-up (a complete infant at that) writer, I find your posts inspire and help me.
ReplyDeleteNik, you gotta love his eternal optimism, eh?
ReplyDeleteRustyNeurons - thanks so much for stopping by, it's lovely to know you've been reading my blog posts and that they might be helpful. That's the aim, I guess, as well as giving me an outlet to vent. Best of luck with your writing, I look forward to reading your blog.
Kureishi is so funny in that report. I'd like to have been there. He sounds like my kind of guy: grumpy, honest, impatient. Which is kind of me too. My kind of writer, maybe...
