Today’s smile comes courtesy of Australian ‘Betty’.
Let me explain. I spent an amazing six months in the south of France in 1995*
In 2003 I moved to France.
In 2011 I published All Expenses Paid (fact meets fiction) based on *
The main character is called Betty. She is 82 going on 28 😉
Last week, here in the south of France I met ‘Betty’ who comes from Melbourne.
I think she is my character come to life. She would like, quite rightly, to reserve judgement until she has read the book.
Meanwhile she has solved a problem for me that was so obvious most of you may say, of course! But here it is:
I never suffer with writer’s block but I do suffer from being unable to edit my own work.
Betty’s simple answer?

Merci, Betty and hurry up and read All Expenses Paid so I can share you with my readers…or not.
