Yesterday, I went into London to, amongst other things, attend the first of this years SCBWI professional series. Pamela Johnson gave us an excellent masterclass on novel writing. I had a wonderful time and met up with a load of my friends. It was wonderful to meet everyone again and to meet some new people too, whose names I have seen on Wordpool and teh SCBWI forum.
The venue this year is the Theodore Bullfrog Pub near Charing Cross. It was ideal. I am looking forward to the next meeting in April.

Just got back! It was lovely to see you, Anita! I really enjoyed the evening and was only sorry I had to fly off at the end. Are you going to the agents' party?

Hi! Me again, nipping over from my blog! It was good to see you again. I like meeting in the pub, it's close to the tube and I can think and drink!

Hi Addy,
Yes, I am going to the agents party. Looking forward to it. Wasn't Pamela Johnson an excellent speaker? She gave some brilliant advice. I feel motivated to get out the novels that have come to grinding halts and give them bump starts now. Although, I will do as I'm told and only concentrate on one at a time.
Hi Sue,
Totally agree about the venue. I gave up alcohol for six weeks after the New Year and I spent most of those six weeks very ill. I'm never giving up alcohol again. I need it to fight off the infections. So thinking and drinking are a fantastic way to spend an evening and meet my medicinal goals.
This is an interesting concept, thinking and drinking, and drinking to fight infections. When I thought about it I was reminded of this verse in the Bible, 1 Timothy 5:23, it says like this: No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities. Thanks for the reminder.
Your class sounded really interesting too.
Wow! See, I knew I was right about the alcohol.
