AGENT
HUNTER is a new website which claims to help writers find agents. A database of
all UK literary agents, it will be regularly updated, and offers facilities for
sorting the information to your own personal taste. It is the creation of The
Writers’ Workshop, which as many of you will know, is an editorial consultancy
for new writers. They also run the Festival of Writing in York. The website
offers a free trial, and there is a registration fee of £12. Here's the link: http://www.agenthunter.co.uk/index.html
Today I need a
dentist, so my creative levels may well be low. Unhappily my dentist is at home
today because she cannot get child support on a Thursday. (School holidays play havoc with normal life!) She runs a one-person
surgery, so that means waiting until tomorrow. I may well lose a pound or two,
since eating is painful. A cap has flipped off, leaving the crumbling wreck of
a tooth with jagged edges that slice into my tongue whenever I move it. Have
you ever tried eating without moving your tongue? It cannot be done.
I shall
walk the dog by the riverside, pick some more blackberries - and what a good year for blackberries this seems to be - have soup through a straw for lunch, and settled
down to an afternoon of reading over my first three chapters in print out format. When I'm out with Tim, I notice the tree are laden with berries, and hints of autumn are everywhere. Thistles are blooming, fruits are forming and show at all stages from brilliant green to deepest orange and purple. The long grass down by the river was cut last week, taken for hay, I suspect, and now the tunnels towering over Tim have vanished. He doesn't know what to make of it!
