The Writer
Between the innocence of infancy and the recklessness of humanity lies a wild-eyed unsung hero known as a writer. I detest the word author, it sounds far too pretentious. I’m a scribbler. Thanks to the plethora of recent self-published books, there are many misconceptions about the writer’s role and what he is really like.

Forever and Always: Poetic Reflections on Life, Love, Laughter and Loss:
"Just as it says on the tin: a collection of poems by the named author who takes you along. So whether you're into life, love, laughter or loss, she can take you there - and not just into the beautiful Welsh valleys, as depicted on the cover, but wher"

"A collection of charming observations from children aged 5-7 years. It's surprising how logical and matter-of-fact children of this age group can be. Some of these errors can only be noticed in writing, like when a 'b' is written as 'd' with hilariou"

“As a Wrong Planet person you may at times appear to be unsociable. You’re often dispassionate when it comes to the activities of others because they seem so mediocre to you. You sometimes find it disappointing to make friends with people who you just can’t relate to. And because of this from time to time you find yourself alone, although you don’t mind this. It’s simply that people don’t always cut it for you”

Sallyann, my apologies, I've only just come across this. I hope you enjoyed the books, although my personal advice would be to give the Bournemouth one a miss and try 'Searching for your Tribe: Wrong Planet People.'
I am, also, a great believer in Synchronicity. Paulo Coelho, the author who wrote that great book ‘The Alchemist’ said, “Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.”
When you popped up on my Goodread friend request I wondered who could this be?Is it for my Poetry, my Prose and Blogs that he's found me?
So before I answered yes this time I checked out who you were
and with so many books in tow thought Ok not ooh er
So I've started on my reading list with Grit a Taxi drivers Life
and plan to read You really are full of shit and tempting as it might
I want to read the Bournemouth one it resonates with me
just as your use of language does , so clever and so free
I'll put you on my Christmas List to good a chance to miss
to read about reality with no punches pulled, no arses kissed
I do believe in syncronicity your message was well timed
It's good to see how your writing's so similar to mine.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & Happy New Year to you and your family!
Let your cherished dreams come true in 2019 :-)

Hello Karl.An interesting chapter and a good laugh. If London was not founded by the Romans, then that's good news. I know, History can be very boring but some people say it's their favourite subject. I suppose it depends on the teacher or prof: if students like or dislike a subject. What do you say?
Hearty cheers!
Lilian J.
