I was SO overexcited by it all. Funny how many people have done the WB course and it got them started - even if they didn't finish it - but can't believe YOU did it because of ME!!! And now here we are as friends. Ain't life odd???<br /><br />Indie Chick - thanks a million. I LOVE the Moonshine cover and really, really hope it does okay. As to the royalties - oooh, yes - well, a girl can dream????<br /><br />Lindsey - oh good luck with the course - I know life gets in the way of writing ANYTHING - but at least you can work at your own pace.

Funny you mentioning the posh word because they kept telling me to "stop talking posh!" - as I've got a very broad Berkshire accent and sound like Pam Ayres I was SO chuffed! And the diet was necessary and still not enough - I just stopped thinking about food. However I've put on 5lbs since!!!!<br /><br />Susan - thanks so much! I had such a lovely time - and hope you're enjoying the WB course - I loved it when I did it.<br /><br />Alzamina - so sorry about the lump. Glad it's a cyst though. I had one of those!!! Better out than in as they say - and glad you're looking on the bright side - hah! I had a hysterectomy before I was 30 and I always say I've been on HRT since puberty!!!

Oh well, on the bright side, if they have to remove it, I will not have to worry about contraception!<br /><br />Off to play on my farm on facebook now.

So glad it kick-started your writing career even if you're now loads funnier than me - grrr.... And whisper this - I didn't finish the course either... And the best bit of the whole day was having the make-up on and discovering that it sort of polyfillas your face so I had NO wrinkles or anything...

I signed up to do the WB course, impressed that they'd produced a "proper" author, having read a couple of your early novels. It was a great kick-start for my writing - I sold a couple of articles. It completely went to my head and I didn't complete the course, but I'm glad they're still going - and keeping you in the advert!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457140200247424636.post-61070636220563837202009-07-19T18:49:04.776+01:002009-07-19T18:49:04.776+01:00Nell - thank you - it was!
