Hi
I can’t do the writing about myself in the third person thing. I mean c’mon I don’t even write the books in the third person.
If I could, it would probably say something like:
Linzi Day worked at the library after school on Wednesdays and Fridays when she was eight-years-old because the local Head Children’s Librarian believed kids should be encouraged to be a part of it. The late Miss Fox ignited Linzi’s nascent love of books and that fire has never gone out.
The idea that she might one day write books herself was inconceivable.
Authors were both clever and nice people!
But she did have a collection of lovely notes from Enid Blyton, Mabel Esther Allen and Noel Streatfield (among others) when she wrote and told them that their book was the book of the week in the local Cheshire children’s library and enclosed a copy of her review. 😂
Many years later, she wrote some of her own. This still amazes her every morning.
As I said—I can’t do third person—that took hours. Let’s try something else instead ….
What’s one thing people might not know about you?
Hmn, shall we try some truths and a lie … or whatever that game is called?
- I was a Business Journalist for UK and International publications
- I’m weirdly psychic
- I lived up a mountain in Portugal for several years and re-built a house that had been there for three hundred years.
- I’m semi-retired now
- I’ve only ever had one Bichon Frise.
- I’ve been an Assistant Registrar and civil celebrant – i.e. I’ve married people in Gretna Green
- I’m a qualified hypnotherapist with a particular interest in Past Life Regression
- I worked in the MIddle East
- I trained staff for some multi-national companies
- I lived in Antwerp, Belgium for three years and I speak bad plat Antwerps
- I studied hairdressing briefly at a college in Wales
- I saw Dave Bowie before he was ‘famous’ (Hardrock, Stretford) and about another 8 times since. RIP 😭
OK, there are lots of truths and there might be a lie in that lot. Think you know which is which?
Don’t be too sure because the lie might sound more credible than the truths.
Maybe we’ll have a competition in the newsletter once I find a suitable prize.
