She gets published!

So, last week I am lamenting the lack of an English paper in bali, when hey presto, some wise american spots a gap in the market and before you can say you call that journalism? Theres a rag with english football stories and everything. The writing is admittedly on the pale side of sketchy in parts, but its a paper, had a story about my mate Trevor in, and some interesting info on the place voted best island holiday for the last three years apparemtly. I got that from the paper but couldnt tell you who the voters were.

So, I naturally set up a meeting with the editor and before you can say - eighteen quid a colum, good money over here, I have a committemnt from heim to publish my writing assuming its any good. the first article is nearly finished and I love it. The money will go to the school for Bali kids fund. hes also said if I come to live in Bali which is currently the plan post my round the world novel writing adventure, then I have as much work as I want. well he didnt quite say that but was definately letting me know there would be other openings if I was interested.

Bagus tekali (very good) \s they would say over here

life rocks on
i have discovered the best band ever, twelve thumping musicians who bring everything fromn bach to james Brown to Flameco to life, I love them, off to see them tonight with the boys.

Must dash, dancing shoes to don and columns to whip up

yours in a whirl of frenzied i am a writer excitment, and with the knowledge I had better find a PC with punctuation and spellcheck to produce the goods on.
