Something i would like to do is write Northern comedy, I am a complete novice but enjoy good comedy.I have an idea that Paul Abbott , has given on line saying to read different script s by different people to get an idea. This is really good as there are free scripts to down load and the first script has really made me laugh.Its from -Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps which is hilarious

I write a bit of poetry sometimes...and I entered a writing competition around this time last year...my story must have been dire...I didn't win anything. Though my friends keep telling me to send it to one of the Women's Mags......they seem to think it would be published...they enjoyed it anyway!

I too, have loads of funny and not so funny stories from my past.
Being from a big family helps....as kids we were always in scrapes of some kind. When I was nursing I used to have the ladies in fits of laughter when I told them some of my stories. I used to tell them I would write a book one day.......they all said they would buy it.
I also have many funny tales from my nursing background too.

As you can probably guess from my Web pages I am a dedicated writer. In addition to Web authoring, I also write for technical magazines and other publications.

I do intend to compose some anecdotes and short stories relating to my childhood and youth in Burnley. The trouble is finding the time to do it.

BTW, I am constantly updating and expanding my WW2 British Home Front pages (link in my signature block) to include as much Burnley area information as possible. I have just finished updating several of those pages.
