For Budding Authors….
To all Orstonians
Coping with the coronavirus? Time on your hands? Write your autobiography! If not, write about one (or more) of the most interesting/exciting things in your life in a few hundred words. Everyone has been famous for five minutes, or even if not, had a great experience, e.g. the amateur footballer scoring a great goal, a golfer getting a
hole-in-one and so on. In other words, the most memorable thing(s) in their lives.
A group of us think we should be able to put together a book - “Life as it used to be before the Coronavirus” or some such title. We have experience of editing books, writing, journalism, and so on, so we could offer assistance (over the net, e.g. WhatsApp) to the would-be writers of Orston. We have two book clubs in the village – how about a writers’ group?
Because we do not have everyone’s address, please pass it on.
