joburg 28 June 2009
I had a really wonderful time talking to the good people of Dundee yesterday – Dundonians, as I am led to believe they are called. It’s always great to get out and about and discuss the writing – especially as I (sort of) know things about the books that are published. And I find it really encouraging to be in that writer’s zone so it helps the continuing of the latest novel…which is continuing in its desultory way (my fault not the novel’s – I need to get the finger out properly and push myself to do a specific amount of work each day.
Right now the second leg of the mammoth travel day is upon me – I am about to board for johannesburg. That young wretch I am married to, who sometimes accuses me of not supporting him enough, better appreciate this or the long threatened divorce (well, from time to time I mention it wistfully) may finally occur…talk to you from the Other Side tomorrow…
