I’m time travelling this month. I actually wrote this post two weeks ago as right now I’m in a tent in Wales. (Probably not as close to the Hay Festival as I’d like). And I really hope it’s not raining!

I also have no idea if the campsite has wifi, so although I’ll try my best to visit your blogs, I may be late and (bearing in mind I’ll probably be interrupted by children every time I try to comment), I may not be coherent!

I’ll also be distracted as it’s the 1st of June.

“What’s so special about the date?” you ask.

Let me tell you: It’s the day that The People’s Friend Special no.124 is published, with my story, ‘Sleeping Beauty’ in it.

Yay! Not the first time I’ve been published, but the first time I’ve been paid for it! And possibly the first time for readers rather than judges or other writers, and that’s really important to me. Because that’s why I write (or at least, one of the reasons). Not to impress or be worthy, but to entertain.

I hope I’ve achieved that today.
