My final blog post on Researching Writing Lives has gone live. Please take the time to read my reflection on this rewarding project! @Writing__Lives https://t.co/LGJgGk22PG
My post on Habits and Beliefs is a comical read as my author and his friends made up the Tower Hill Gang and planned to assist Flash Gordon! https://t.co/lJGRxj5TAl @Writing__Lives
Leslie John Robinson writes with anxiously about his childhood memories of the Thetis Disaster. The Cammell Laird shipyard is local to me and i have many family and friends that work there today, making this blog post super interesting!
Please take the time to read my blog post on war and memory. It is interesting to see how memories of the war influenced by author's career choice. https://t.co/vHWcD7w4XD @Writing__Lives
Here is the link to my second blog post on Life and Labour. It is interesting to note how Leslie's attitudes towards work were shaped by his father and grandfather https://t.co/xGxJPqSDfL @Writing__Lives
Recommend reading Amber's blog on Writing Lives. She has really worked hard at capturing her author's unique writing style in every post and it is interesting to see it all come together! @writing__lives
Please head over and spend some time this weekend having a read of my blog post and other authors on the Writing Lives site. Its fascinating to see how diverse some of the authors are. I plan to spend my weekend catching up on some of my peers work! @Writing__Lives

I have decided to split the post on Life and Labour into two parts. The first one focuses on Leslie John Robinson's military career. Read it herehttp://www.writinglives.org/life-and-labour/leslie-john-robinson-b-1929-life-and-labour-1-2 @Writing__Lives
It is interesting that Leslie John Robinson devalued his education due to his parents believing it would be more beneficial for him to be earning money for the family. Please read more in my Education and Schooling blog post. https://t.co/ffXTDEgMch @Writing__Lives

Busy writing my next thematic blog post on home and family. My author begins his memoir with a lot of happy memories of his parents and grandparents. It seems they were a very big influence on his life. @Writing__Lives

When you have the chance to look at Taylor's Introduction on the life of James Mckenzie 'a Circus Showman' I'd recommend that you do. It's simply a fascinating read!
