Hello Gothfairy - a lady after my own heart with the local and social history interest. Any particular area/subject of interest?

It would be great if we could find a way of keeping this going - I suspect one thread is going to go 'ping' sooner or later. No idea how we approach W&H for a page of our own but in the meantime pehaps we could start the heading of any new posts with something like WRITING LADIES or similar so we know it's about writing rather than a book?

In the meantime, I'm away for a week in Kent - taking pen and paper with me of course - so I hope everyone will keep talking amongst yourselves?

It would be interesting to know what writing books, podcasts, websites, magazines that people find particularly helpful. Pen on Fire by Barbara De Marco Barrett is a great help for when you don't think you can find five minutes to write, The Writers Ideas Book and Workshops by Jack Heffron are great for when you just don't know what to write about and Writers on Writing, The Writing Show and The Secrets are all great podcasts downloaded via iTunes...
