What has Patti been telling you about me Gingerlilly? I am the epitomy of sartorial elegance when I try. It's just that I haven't tried since 1986.

[Vic]

Reading your book, Stuart.

It is a classic, or rather it will be.

[Stuart]

Thank you so much, Vic.

[Stuart]

I've just posted on my blog a post about self-publishin on Kindle and other thoughts. I'd be pleased if you took a look!

[Kath]

That's well put Stuart. As with all your writing, a pleasure to read!

[Stuart]

Thank you - getting into all this now I think!

[Vic]

Finished the book, Stuart

You are a genius.

[Stuart]

Vic, in little Tollesbury here I have just awoken to your words. And just cried.

Thank you my friend,

Stu

Here's a short story I wrote the other day that is now up on David Barber's site. The story is called A Day in the Death of Stafford Plank...

[Katie]

Love it!

[Stuart]

Thank you Katie! The only short story (apart from those that appear in Tollesbury Time Forever) that I've written - so very grateful for your kind words!

[Katie]

I have to admit I was beginning to wonder about your state of mind - but then I saw you're a psychiatric nurse, so now I know you're mad! ;)

[Stuart]

Guilty as charged!! ; )

[Kath]

Ha! Good one. Save some of your short story talent for the next Goodreads Group book though eh?

PS StationEry is paper and stuff. E for envelopes is how to remember it.

[Katie]

Stafford obviously couldn't spell.

[Stuart]

I didn't know there was one but, yes, I will!

Thank you editor lady!

[Kath]

S'what I do! Can't help it. You've got a stalker now you know!

[Emma]

Make that 2 stalkers :-) loved the short story Stu. I think he should save some of his poetry for the next book too - what do you reckon Ignite?

And stu check out A Goodreads Gallimaufrey which is the last Goodreads book. Is really very good xx

[Kath]

Save some? He can jolly well write some more!

Thanks for the review by the way Emma.

[Philip (sarah)]

Really enjoyed your short story Stuart.Thank You.

[Stuart]

My pleasure!!

No probs, I really enjoyed it. Was nice to read some people who i have met through here but not got round to yet!!

[Stuart]

Happy to write anything for anyone me. Keeps me out of the The King's Head.

Actually, no it doesn't...

And now I have woken up (Down Under) and read your comment, Stuart. I hope they were happy tears. I meant what I said - yours is a book which will endure.

[Stuart]

Well, I'm pleased to report that I've written just over 1,500 words today of The Bird That Nobody Sees!!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

YAT! and I am sure it will the The Book That Everybody Sees.

[Stuart]

Let's hope so! Who wouldn't want to read a book about a midget, an angel and a washing machine without a door?!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Well I certainly would.

[Stuart]

make that three angels, a pool competition and of course the bird that nobody sees!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Do the angels play pool? With the midget?

[Stuart]

who knows?! Only 14,000 words in mate but, in my wholly weird imagination, anything is possible!!

[Stuart]

I'm a bit in the groove now Karl. Hopefully I'll keep that up for a few weeks at least. Was hoping for a thousand words today and get to 74,000 by end of April - could be done before then though!

[Stuart]

That's great going - my writing is like my diy - I get really into it for a while and then just grind to a halt. Drives my wife mad! (not so much the writing, but the half-finished house we live in!)

Yeah, a thousand a day is a good aim. When you've reached it, do you keep going or do you stop?

[Stuart]

I know what you mean - I usually write from about 11pm when I've had a bottle or so of wine so I'm really proud that I've got this done today - a big achievement for me, this writing sober lark. Think it will be a big old night time wine time writing session later though!

[Kath]

If I have half a bottle I go to sleep! I'd be bleddy useless trying to type after a full one!

[Stuart]

It just gets me very excited! Fires my imagination!!

[Kath]

Ah, that's the problem. Sometimes my imagination needs damping down a bit!

[Stuart]

Well it works for me! Helps me remember the story without thought thinkings getting in the way!

[Patti (baconater)]

Thought thinkings. Hehe. Love it!

[Stuart]

Tollesbury Time and my new book are full of all my little made up words!

[Stuart]

Just added a new blog post called:

"Jack Kerouac and me..."

[Stuart]

Just added a new blog post called:

"Bob Dylan and me..."

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm avoiding your blog until I've finished your book. 15% to go.

It's seriously blowing me away.

[Stuart]

Cheers Patti!! Keep going!

[Patti (baconater)]

Yes I believe I shall. Right now.

[Maureen (Mews)]

Just started Tollesbury Time Forever. Only 3% in but I've already got that lovely feeling when you know you've started reading something really special.

[Stuart]

Thank you Maureen. That's really sweet of you!

[Maureen (Mews)]

I have already started highlighting passages. So far thats only happened with one other book I've read on my Kindle. ;-)

[Stuart]

A few people have said that!! Not having a Kindle I only have a vague idea what that means - but being a positive soul I'm assuming it's a good thing!

[Stuart]

With Amazon finally having removed the old, expensive ebook of A Cleansing of Souls, the way is now clear for me to upload the new, cheaper, revised and re-edited version (once I've done all the formatting stuff of course)!!!

I hope to have this done by Monday if my concentration holds over the weekend!
