Gosh, well, right. Sorry, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Almost a year since I (sob) moved from Bloomsbury to the wilds of south London. So, what with one thing and another, this blog has been left fallow. I’m amazed anyone is still reading, but – hey! – you are. How lovely.
The thing is, I’m still Bloomsbury at heart. I still work in Bloomsbury, at the lovely BMA House in Tavistock Square. I still study in Bloomsbury, thanks to the marvellous Birkbeck College. Hell, I still shop, eat, drink, read, cycle, swim and generally hang out in Bloomsbury. The British Museum retains its charm.
So here’s the idea. I’ll keep my workaday professional blog, annasayburn.com, for work stuff. And I’ll pop over here when I want to talk about books, bunting, food and – most of all – writing. I’m about 7/8ths through writing my literary detective thriller novel, which has been nurtured by classes at Faber Academy and Birkbeck. I’m dizzy with the thought I might actually finish it soon – maybe even in time to enter it for the Mslexia Novel competition.
I’ll be posting updates about progress, ponderings, inspiration and ideas. Please chip in and let me know what you think. It’s lovely to be back.
