I haven't been around lately because I'm knuckling down to work on my travel memoir. But I don't want to abandon my blog! Here's a little story about the life of a lowly writer.

Rejection
‘What the hell is this?’ the Producer waved a sheet of paper
in front of me.
‘It’s a piece for the local news slot.’
‘But it’s not cute or funny. It doesn’t even feature a dog!
You know the rules.’
‘I thought it might be refreshing to report a genuine human
interest story.’
He threw the script away. ‘Who wants to hear about the
struggles of a wannabe novelist?’
‘People might find the reality interesting instead of the usual
glossy hype. You know? The instant bestsellers and six-figure deals.’
‘Pah! Boring!’
I left his office, chalking up yet another rejection.
