The latest (Jan 26-Feb 2) Time Out London magazine has a Books Special with interesting articles such as a list of "Londoners' best-loved books" (London-related) and an article with advice and tips for new writers. There is also an interview with the author, Zadie Smith and an article about the famous novelist, Ian McEwan.

Also, there are details of the Time Out Short Story Competition:

It can be in any genre but it must not be more than 2000 words.

Short Story Competition, Time Out, 251 Tottenham Court Road, W1T 7AB

or email to books@timeout.com

Closing Date: April 30, 2005

The story judged to be the best will be published in Time Out later in the year.

Topic: The Snowflake Process
Thanks to a blog called,Writing Desk of the Scribe I now have a very useful writing link called, The Snowflake Process for Writing a Novel. I'm planning to try this method of writing and see how it works. It certainly sounds intriguing.

About this blog: A Clean Slate
Topic: Introduction
Hello from a keen reader* and an aspiring writer. My name is Maureen Box and I started this blog for a place to share all my writing links and a place to post encouraging words through useful tidbits about writing. It's also a place to share links to writing contests.

I will try to make a habit of writing here first each day before I move onto my writing projects - to write short stories and articles to submit to magazines. My ultimate goal is to write a novel.

*See my other blog: http://bookglutton.blog-city.com/

I welcome feedback about my site. Write to: expatwriter (at) gmail (dot) com
