Sorry for the lateness in posting this. I'm still having difficulties getting around. I can only take short slow steps with a walking frame.
I've been researching possible outlets for feature articles. I'm using the 2024 editions of the 'Writers & Artists Yearbook' and the 'Writers Handbook'. I'm also going online to search for magazine publishers.
I've written an article entitled 'Ghosts on the Waterways'. I had intended to submit it to a 'Waterways' magazine, but I've missed the deadline for an edition that coincides with Halloween, so I'll submit it next year. My writer's group, Slough Writers, is holding a 'manuscript evening' next Monday evening where members read out each other's manuscripts. I'm having mine read out by Lorraine. It may cause a couple of problems reading out two Welsh placenames: 'Llangollen' and 'Pontcysyllte'.
I've been in touch with my local 'Smoking Cessation' team in Slough. I only smoke one or two cigarettes a day, but really want to give up. And I 'vape' which I also want to give up.
I'm really well cared for and supported by my partner, Simon. He does everything.
Tomorrow, I'm going to try and get into the passenger seat of the car. I've had some advice from a friend who had a hip replacement a year or two ago. She told me that the best way was to 'reverse' into the seat and then swing my bad leg around and then my good leg. Keep your fingers crossed.
Watch this space!
