Friday 13th!

It's Friday folks! But it's Friday 13th! So far, so good! I haven't done much so far today, yet. I planned to make out the 'cue cards' for when I give talks (especially when I give my 'Writing for Magazines' talk to the 'Slough Writers Group' in a couple of weeks) but haven't got round to it yet. Last night (or rather the early hours of this morning),

Also this morning, I registered with 'SpeakerNet' hoping to get some bookings to give talks to groups/clubs/organizations etc.

This afternoon, we watched the 'Chelsea Detective' on catchup television. I thought that the first two episodes were brilliant.


Over the last couple of days, I received 'testimonials' to add to my website:

"Richard was one of my most dedicated and enthusiastic creative writing students, with a varied and fascinating supply of stories to tell."
Edward Parnell. Tutor, National Centre for Writing (Creative Non-fiction)

"We love including Richard's diverse features. He always takes such tremendous care and is a pleasure to deal with."
Beverley Cuddy. Editor, Dogs Today Magazine

I'm so pleased with these and wish to thank the authors.

Now it's back to designing and writing these 'cue cards'. Watch this space...
