Scribbler
This blog award was kindly passed on to me by Karen. Thanks Karen. I'll have a think about who to pass it on to. Being eager to post it onto my blog has at last made me learn how to upload images, something I wasn't able to do before.
They say you learn something new every day :o) When I first learnt how to do it I kept thinking of excuses to post pictures on my blog, but the novelty has worn off now - though I do like to have one accompanying each post!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I thought I'd do the decent thing and pop on over! Congratulations on having your memoir accepted for publication. I hope you are enjoying the build up!
Karen - Yes, I'll be looking for pictures to post on my blog in future. I think the scibbly pic has really brightened up my blog.
Shanta - Thanks for stopping by. Please come again. I'll keep the kettle on. 'Enjoying' build up to publication? Erm, well... finding the publicising lark stressful.
Hi, I'm Jean. I'm fifty-something, married to Ian, and live in West Yorkshire. I'm a writer, and part-time mental health worker. My memoir 'The Dark Threads' is published by Accent Press. As a mixed-up, depressed teenager in 1968 I was heavily drugged, given electric shock treatment, reduced to a zombie and, by age 20, 'written off' as suffering from chronic schizophrenia (a misdiagnosis, evidence suggests). I managed to jump out of the net in 1974 and went on to build up a life for myself. Today life is good, good, good.
I have a first-class BA (Hons) degree in Combined Studies (literature and psychology), and qualifications in counselling skills. 'The Dark Threads' is my first book. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Threads-Jean-Davison/dp/1906373590
