Grateful thanks once again to editor Ian Chung.

Enjoyed being part of another ProleWrites workshop at The Lloyds, Chorlton, Manchester on Saturday with sessions led by Mark Connors in the morning and Susan Castillo in the afternoon plus another memorable open mic in the evening. It was so good to meet up with people who I know and some new faces. I think we all felt inspired by Mark and Susan to create and share writing. Many thanks to Prole editors Brett Evans and Phil Robertson for organising another brilliant day.

Thanks to Prole for this pic of me at the open mic!
