WRITERS ABROAD MAGAZINE: THE THIRD SPACE spare time than before, I indulged myself in a whole new gourmet adventure, swapping real ale for French wine and began to look around in the hope of meeting other creative writers. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege to meet several local writers, and then in March of this year I was invited to join Writers Abroad, an online group of expat writers living in various parts of the globe. Since joining I have made a moderate contribution to the site’s activities and I thoroughly enjoy e-meeting with the members. My writing life is once more enhanced with the support of lovely, like-minded people. Of course things never go according to plan. Circumstances obliged me to seek ways of generating a little more income. Consequently, my treasured free time for writing is considerably reduced and my novel is progressing far too slowly. Ah, well, one can’t have it all. 13 | November 2016
