Only when he's pushing his books.

Also, it's better to be writing shite than writing nothing.

Worst has to be translating poorly written shite. And editing. But it's easy work, the pay is sufficient and it requires zero creativity.

zooo, have you got any examples of your work you'd like to share? I'd be very interested to see your style. If not, can you describe the type of thing you write?

I asked her this ages ago and got no joy. She's an enigma, and no mistakin!

I go by the name Jemima Puddleduck.

A Northern friend of mine made laugh when he was describing... 'some posh woman in Holt the other day with her bloody children no doubt called Milly and Molly.'

Made me chucke anyway, although there was no mention of Mandy.

A writer who hates anyone reading her stuff.
A success in the making!

I'd like to be a proof reader or something. Sounds nice and easy.

Mandy is considered common now.

These weirdos giving their children Victorian names. ;)

I've been re-reading Milly Molly Mandy books and they're quite shocking. She's about five and gets the bus into town on her own to go to the cinema. I expecting to see Social Services in the updated version.

I used to be a proof reader. It was so bloody boring.

Worked for JD Salinger!

On a related point, it would be interesting to read samples of some BCG characters writing blind, and see if they matched their style of posts.

Heeee!
I've found her before, when I've been *ahem* googling myself.

Not that I do that, obviously...

You need to browse more gay websites. :)

So you really do write under a pseudonym? Hmmm... there must be a way to find out.

Nope, tried Google again with the 'h' and now I'm out of options. :(
