IT'S ENERGIZING TO SEE SUCCESS...

Dear Writers ~

I’ve set this blog up for you, the members of the London Writers’ Society, so you can come here and alert our community when you’ve had a publishing success because I am always excited to hear about someone else being published (or paid!) for their literary output.

So I’m thinking - maybe you’re like me - and it would give you an energy boost to read about the successes of people in our group. Then, when it’s your turn, you can have fun sharing your own news.

So I’ve started this for that purpose - encouragement. I’ll be e-mailing the user name and password to all of you - our LWS members - so you can come here and share.

I will begin - although it’s very old news now - with the fact that my play The Ten Commandos was selected by the Grand Theatre to be included as part of its January 2008 Playwright’s Cabaret - and I received payment! Seeing my play staged was a thrill and this acceptance took me back from the brink of thinking maybe I should hang up writing. (As if I could.) But now I think: hang in there. This is a long-haul journey, not a sprint. ~Clyo
