It's me! In the newspapers!

There's an article about my letter experiment in The Independent today. Oh my. I am apparently "writer Deirdre Ruane", or just "Ruane", which is very weird.

Go read it, and then go to postwodehouse.com, which is the website I've been asking for help with this week. And for pity's sake, if you participated (or even if you didn't) and you can think of something to say, post something on the message board! It's got tumbleweeds blowing through it.

Thank you again to everyone who joined in - I've still got letters to go out to some of you! - and everyone who helped me test the site. And to rhodri, who did a great job.

I'm in the paper. Holy cow.

They said that you are a writer in the article - is that correct? What sort of writer are you? Or do they mean website- or letter-writer?

Well, it depends on your definition... I've written several novels, but so far all I've had published is articles and an upcoming short story.

My day job is teaching, still, though.

Several novels? Goodness, that's impressive. Where's your short story being published?

Interzone mag - can't remember the url off-hand, but it's linked from the 'other projects' page on the site. Mind you, I have no idea when it's being published - they just keep telling me they will.

Hey, that's ace. I'll have a look.
