I hope being The Next Big Thing has been worthwhile for you and for your nominees. I have made a number of new friends by doing it and so I have found it fun and worthwhile too. I love reading all about you and your writing life so do keep it up. Much love and all good things for 2013.

Snippets of conversations float on the aroma of coffee and frying and if you are like me (I guess as writer you are) the imagination gets fired up by what you hear. Looking at your fellow diners, wondering who they are, where they come from, what they are doing in this town, city or hamlet....all good material for a story or two. I do the same waiting for buses these days. Cannot wait to read what emerges from your trips Kelly.

Interesting stuff on here. Hope all goes well for your writing in the future too, and as fellow 'trying-to-get-published-and-known-writers' we can share our experiences on our travels to the top.

I loved reading your answers and agree that, if writing is central to your life then you are a writer, no matter what the bits of paper labelled 'qualifications' say. I like reading non fiction, too, and watching documentaries on TV. I get lots of ideas for writing from factual material. I wish you all the best and every success for your writing and the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284696637432637414.post-24705107018858366592012-11-27T19:28:55.010-08:002012-11-27T19:28:55.010-08:00I really enjoyed reading your blog Kelly, good luc...I really enjoyed reading your blog Kelly, good luck with your future projects.

My only bus trip was years ago when I went on a trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie in West Australia...a 6hr trip to meet a friend getting the train from the eastern states. I sat next to a chain smoking lady (it was allowed back then) and by the time we arrived I was so sick from tobacco and smoke fall-out and my butt was so sore from the hard seats, I vowed never to go on a bus trip again.....and I never have!!
