oh well done! congratulations.
ReplyDeleteGee, thanks Daniel!! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou typed your entire manuscript on a typewriter?! Wow!
ReplyDeleteOops, this may be misleading - it's more representative of the very long time I've been writing ... no, Cracked was written with a pen and a computer :)
ReplyDeleteAnd my shack is slightly more civilised these days, too ... but weirdly reminiscent, now I come to think about it!
ReplyDeleteQuite relieved to hear that, I have to say! x
ReplyDeleteI had no electricity in 'the cabin' in 1992 ... and no one in my world had the Internet ...
DeleteAh - the good ol' Olden Days! ;-)
DeleteSuper congratulations, Clare. And, is that a cassette tape sitting to the right of your typewriter?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mark :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a tape! I had a tapedeck that ran off a solar-powered car battery (I loved it so much). I noticed there's Nutella too, and an ashtray and packet of Camel filtered cigarettes ...
Congratulations. I am genuinely pleased for you!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Selma! x
DeleteClare! I am thrilled for you :D I know a big cat would whisk you up.
ReplyDeletemuch love
ps
ReplyDeleteI can see where you live! though, maybe you don't mind? (you never know who lurks.... ....)
