Really pleased with the feedback after our first meeting – we all seemed to take away something positive from the experience!
Debbie has been busy typing away, to all hours, with a renewed enthusiasm for her novel.
Judith and John have been hard at work getting their already published novels on to Kindle.
Ros, co-author of an academic book, is seriously considering the plot for her debut novel.
Helen, author and creator of non-fiction books, e-books and meditation Cd’s (and all-round human dynamo) has set up the Ragleth Writers twitter account and is now developing our new website – www.raglethwriters.co.uk
As for me, although I wouldn’t describe myself as a technophobe, I would admit to being techno-challenged, and so setting up this blog and opening a twitter account (even posting photographs from my phone - see below) were no mean feats. And it does go to show that you never know what you can achieve until you try. It’s so easy for us to just say “No, I can’t do that,” and stay within our comfort zone but just imagine what we might be missing out on? That challenge we dread is rarely as complicated as it first appears. We’re all capable of so much more - we just need the motivation and support to fulfil our true potential.
As an aspiring novelist, the long-winded business of trying to get work published can be a demoralising affair. The constant stream of rejection letters can be very disheartening - not to mention, a fire hazard! I knew I was in trouble when it was too much of an effort to procrastinate!!
But those days are gone. The Ragleth Writers’ Group will help me stay positive and encourage me to push myself that little bit harder every day! ...Well, most days! Let’s not get too carried away…it’s not a magic group….is it???
So, let me re-cap:
Not only do The Ragleth Writers have an incredibly talented group of writers, but also; a twitter account, a blog and now a website (in development).
Wow! All that…after just one meeting! What on earth will we be doing after our second outing?
At this rate, I’m thinking that a world take-over is not that far down the line? Global domination, here we come!! Mwahh!
Sounds great, would love to join you. Carole.
