Wannabe a Writer We've Heard of?
I can highly recommend Jane Wenham Jones' latest Wannabe book. This one tells how to promote yourself and your book, something that is alien to many of us. Lots of quotes from well known writers and celebrities - and me talking about book signings a Crufts. I'm extrememly grateful that the cartoon illustration depicting me and a queue of dogs waiting for their books to be sirned shows me as thin as a rake!

Thanks - and congrats on being included, Writebag.
I know a few people who've read the first one and said it is very good.
Well done Writebag for getting into her book! Will have to have a nosey just for that :D
Perhaps we should have a WN slimming thread? Or is there one and I've ignored it?
I attended the book launch tonight in London and met Kate Fforde and other authors I have only seen the names of on book covers. Jane dragged me over and introduced me to Gaynor Davis (WW fiction editor) I was dumbstruck. There were many well known authors there and al were so charming and normal. I realised that I should be part of all this and must pull my finger out and work more on my fiction.
One novelist who has had phenomenal success told me she wants to write childrens books. It made me wonder if us writers are ever happy with our lot?
I too am built like a tank but used to be a rake (a very sad sate of affairs) and every day say I really must go on a diet/ stick to my diet/ get back on my diet. I am hoping that when I get to the stage of my hypnotherapy course where weight loss is required that it actually works. I have already volunteered a a willing victims for the group to practise on. You might not be surprised to know that there are actually a few of us in the queue.
Well done Writebag.
