Had a trip to Yorkshire yesterday, to talk to creative writing students at Leeds University's Bretton Hall Campus. Who were a keenly attentive group, asking to the point questions and taking the harder truths about life as a professional writer of SF&F (that was my brief)on the chin.
Gosh, what a contrast to that awful journey I had to Ormskirk. Moderate to light traffic and nary a hold-up on the way up, M40, M69, M1 all moving fine. Bright sunny day, and since I was going north, no low sun in the eyes issues.
Smashmouth, REM and Scissor Sisters on the cd player, interspersed with judicious bits of of Radio 4, and snatches of Radio 2, to catch Sally Traffic's updates. No, she had nothing to report of any concern since it only seemed to be going pear-shaped on the M25. Not good for anyone driving in that area, obviously.
It was the same easy driving on the way back, when the only slight slowing of the traffic was down to the gritters being out in force.
Right, better do some work now
