Taking a Break

We have my sister-in-law and husband coming to stay this week, arriving later today, so we're taking a break too so we can enjoy getting out and about since it's ages since they were up in Scotland and we're really looking forward to spending time with them. It's a great excuse to revisit some of my favourite places and eat out a few times! And, of course, a writer's mind is ever observing and taking note of anything interesting for future stories or articles.


I did, however, promise to visit the Erskine Library with other members of our writing group on Wednesday afternoon and hope to still take part in that - it's during the week-long festival and this gives our writing group, and its authors, some publicity. I'm sure husband and visitors will enjoy an afternoon to themselves while I'm there.

I mentioned on Facebook last night that I had just watched wonderful film, The Shawshank Redemption, for only the second time and my post elicited a lot of comments from people who also love the film. I haven't read the book of stories it appears in, Different Seasons, by Stephen King, but I'll now get around to it at some point. I usually detest prison films but this was so compelling, partly because of the main actors, Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, and the interesting characters they portrayed so well.

I'm sure most people will have see the film by now, even if they haven't read the book, but there's a good overview written a while back by one of my fellow Crooked Cat authors, Nik Morton, which you can find here.

And talking of Crooked Cat - their great Summer Sale is on this week and many of the books are on special offer at only 99p (99c) on Amazon. I let The Highland Lass go into it too as lots of people love a bargain!


Hope you have a good week.
Rosemary

Have a lovely, well earned break, Rosemary. I just got back from mine and my typing fingers really need a good oiling. But like you say, our minds continue to work whilst we are out and about and once all the unpacking, washing and ironing are done, I'll get back to work and put some of my jumbled ideas down on paper (as well as update my blog! eek!)Hope the sun is shining wherever you are. All the best.
