Yes, here I am. Sorry. I have no good excuses... Well, a few: work, age, the usual. As I say, not good excuses but there you have it.
In writing news, I got the edits back on that work in progress I've been mentioning for a year and let me tell you, going through edits is a painful process.
As I said over on Twitter:
Fall has been beautiful and inspiring here in Vermont and making me feel like I should write more. When I get home from work these days, however, I pretty much settle into re-watching episodes of Vera (which you should all watch, BTW, Brenda Blethyn is a marvel) and listening to BBC Radio on my iPlayer app (which you should all get right now if you don't already have it).Something there is that doesn't like a writer to sit down and write. #amwriting Oh wait. #amtweeting— Kim Velk (@woolfoot) October 13, 2018
So that's two top tips, just for stopping by. Here's one more that I will serve up to you with a link and everything.
BBC Radio 4 provides many audio books each week. They are abridged usually, but FREE to all the world and first-class productions too. This week the Book of the Week is Colm Toibin reading his lovely, thoughtful, Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know. Colm is Irish, so of course it's wonderful to listen to him. The book explores the lives of the fathers of three of Ireland's greatest writers: Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and James Joyce. Toibin is a wonderful writer and these biographies offer great insights on the famous men and on history.
Here's a link to the the Book of the Week.
There's also "Book at Bedtime" and that's a winner right now too. Sarah Perry's Melmoth.
Thanks for stopping by. Best wishes for a happy stick season to you all.
