SATURDAY  DECEMBER 16 MARKS THE SPOT AND THAT CONFIRMS THE DECIDING MOMENT. I AM GOING FOR GOLD!

The free Creative writing and Self-publishing spectacle was a winner according to some people who attended the Writing Programme. And, that's probably why management at Coombes Croft Library petitioned it should be showcased there again, Anyway, I never had a doubt in my mind whether I had a winner on my hands. But, in this business of E&E meaning Education and Edutainment one should never be cocky. What you have is a gift and you are meant to share it with those who really want to learn. Learn what they need to know in order to be true masters of their craft.

I've got some decisions to make and I've got some options to look at. The bottom line is this: Make all this work again  at Coombes Croft Library which is based in Tottenham on the High Road in London. The postcode is N17, 8AG.

The tester. The spectacle whatever YOU decide to call it has now become a classic example of what's to come and is now part of a staple included under my primary  writing course which  is  now  christened THE CREATIVE, MECHANICS of ADVENTURE WRITING FLAGSHIP PROGRAMME. So, come December 16 we get to do this again and in style too. Come one. Come ALL. And, let the games BEGIN.

I'm going for GOLD this time. That's because I've added some bits to my repertoire and there will be more guest speakers on the SHOW. Yes. People have been invited on this free programme to talk about their writing journey. I guess Saturday, December 16 marks the spot and that confirms the deciding moment. To steal the show on the day and get more bums on seats so that we can continue to bring more shows  like the coolest Masterclass on the planet. And that's M.A.W! The MECHANICS of ADVENTURE WRITING Masterclass.

I can't believe it's nearly Christmas. The holiday season is definitely around the corner.  HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.  

NB: In 2024 GOD WILLING there will be more exciting M.A.W! Masterclass programmes. So hang tight. Don't go anywhere. And, before I forget to say this I bumped into a female Rattlesnake fan two days ago who jokingly said to me, 'It would be criminal not to think that the Expendable PI was not a criminal. He behaves like one'.  I laughed out loud and said, 'The Rattlesnake is not a criminal. But, he thinks like one. And that's why he's dangerous.  

THE EXPENDABLE PI will RETURN SOON.  

STAY SAFE!                                                                

 THE CREATIVE WRITING  AND SELF-PUBLISHING TESTER WAS A HIT

I wasn't expecting much to happen when I walked through the library doors of Coombes Croft last  Saturday which was the 28th October 2023. I had some concerns since I knew the event wasn't promoted properly. I was not aware of much happening and I didn't see people ask or sign up for the event when I went to the library in the last few days. So, I was secretly praying for a miracle to happen  as I set up to begin this new showcase there.

Anyway, on that faithful day a woman came into the library and asked about the event and then wandered off to do her own business. As the clock ticked and as the time drew near to unveil this new product a few people walked in and took seats. They were middle aged men. And they were obviously interested in the event otherwise they wouldn't be here. When I had allowed that thought to sink in I believed that was my cue to start the show. And I did by introducing myself and what I was going to do. I simply had two hours to convince these people in the room that they could achieve the almost impossible if they were given the right tools to write their book and self- publish their own work. The event started at 1pm and ended at 3pm that day. 

All in all the session not only achieved a satisfactory outcome. It was marginally considered a successful hit by certain standards. That's because the participants thought my presentation was well-prepared and well presented.  They also thought it was engaging, enlightening and exciting. The same participants also thought I should do the pilot programme again before doing it at another notable library in the borough of Haringey.

There's been some good news since then. I've just been given the go ahead by the Coombes Croft library manager to do this again. So I guess its time business picked up. This time with a proper promotion in the works. I won't take my eye off the ball this time. Remember, the aim is to get new clients for my Mechanics of  Adventure Writing mentorship programme. It sounds funny to say this. But I guess there's some truth to it. Halloween has come and gone. And I'll be damned if I don't make a positive stride with my new found resource at Coombes Croft Library.  So no more fun and games. Its time to repackage this product and get results. And, that reminds me of something.  Mac Logan the Expendable P.I and the protagonist of my SNAKE AMONGST SHADOWS book series  will soon RETURN for more mystery, action and adventure. I guess the ungodly had better watch out.

STAY SAFE!
