Despatches from a mother who started late (and is running to catch up)

Tagged

I've been tagged by Alex at Shedworking to reveal six things about myself. Here goes:

1. My favourite food is peanut butter on toast. I'm eating this gourmet concoction as I type.

2. I get pleasure from cleaning kitchens. Untidiness depresses me.

3. I have a literary agent. Oooh, get me! But I still feel odd saying sentences like "My agent thinks....."

4. I am NOT a character from a McCall Smith book. I am a real person. Despite what anyone says.

5. I am looking forwards to lunch with my husband on Sunday. Just the two of us.

6. I am already nervous about giving birth to our second child in July.

Okay, my turn. I'd like to tag Omega Mum, Vanessa from The Fidra Blog and Erica from Littlemummy.

I did go to the same school as AMcS's daughters... might account for some similarities between me and an AMcS character.

Ha. You kept that one quiet, didn't you? So did you go round to his house for birthday parties and sleepovers? In which case, OBVIOUSLY you fed into the creative process in a very significant way. I rest my case (as I always seem to say, on this subject).

No! His daughters are quite a bit younger than me. But apparently the McCS's are a nice family. Sorry - I would have loved to claim a greater role in his fiction, but, alas, can't!

But your influence pervaded the school, even down the years, and was carried by the McC girls into the bosom of their home, and thus into the books of their father.

OK, so I concede you're not a character, but an influence.
