a daily journal, of sorts

Wednesday, November 10

Heeeeeeeeeeee's Baaaaaaaaaack !

Ah, yes, the sweet flow through my veins of that ethereal essence - compelling me once again to write ! As I am commanded, so do I.

A couple of weird coincidences in the last week: went to a great restaurant with a friend, partook of an overwhelmingly good meal, and began to enthuse to the maitre'd (actually, the owner) about same. With hand upraised for dramatic effect, he interrupted me to ask: "Are you a writer ?"

Never been asked that in my life ! He based his inquiry upon my choice of words in praise of the fare, and asked me to come again to meet a couple of his friends, who (coincidentally) include Margaret Atwood and (2 degrees of separation ?) Austin Clarke, an author of Barbadian origin who also happens to be something of a godfather to Graham, my writing partner.

Not weird enough ? Through another interesting coincidence I was presented with the chance to enter a writing competition uniquely suited to one of the short stories I had proposed to write but temporarily shelved to focus on the novel. Thing is writing itself right now, should be done tonight.

Okay ! I get the point ! Me write pretty one day and me nah gwine stop.
