In the days when I kept a diary, I used to like to the look and feel of a clean sheet of paper. I suppose this feels the same, except that it's a bit more difficult and complicated.
Will I keep this up, or will I resort, as I did when I was twelve or so, to writing 'had games today. French in the afternoon' after a crafy look at my school timetable.
At the moment, I'm too easily drawn away from my writing, which is the purpose of this log, sorry, blog. What an ugly word. I wish they could have thought of something more pleasing to the ear.
I have had a bad day today, having been tired. Therefore I have played a million computer games, as I'm addicted to them, and I ate half a box of liquer chocolates, which my brother in law brought last night. I would have eaten the other half, but the Other Half ate them.
About Me
- Jackie Luben
- Like all women, apparently, I'm multi-skilled and have a dual identity. As the little woman at home, I run my husband's business in an extraordinarily efficient way, typing, bookkeeping, dealing with telephone calls and chasing non-paying customers. But my other identity is far more interesting, as I've been writing for the past twenty five years at least, and have published four books - all very different. My fourth book, Tainted Tree, was published in May 2008, having won second prize at the 2007 Winchester Writers' Conference. My other books comprise a self help book dealing with cot death (no longer in print); an autobiographical slice of life, (The Fruit of the Tree) which also describes this event and other more lighthearted happenings in my life; a novella, A Bottle of Plonk, which bears no relationship to my life. This was also published in America by Virtual Tales, with the name, Have Wine Will Travel and is available from some sellers. I also have some short stories available on-line, some published by Untreed Reads (www.untreedreads.com). My writing work is set out more formally on my web pages, which you can access at: http://freespace.virgin.net/jackie.luben
