@matosman But then one wonders why we have the correct spelling but not the correct pronunciation. For example, Beauchamps Place off the Brompton Rd in London is pronounced โBeechamโ, but I teach at a school called Beauchamps High School, which is pronounced en franรงais. Go figure ๐ฑ๐
I had a wonderful day on Sunday with the @EssexBookFest and @matosman and @AlecMarsh and @SamanthaLHowe! Writers and writing and reading - itโs all about community. And the words, of course ๐ค
@matosman @EssexBookFest @WritersSalon Writersโ HQ (WHQ) @writers_hq is online and brilliant - all wise-cracking, smart-ass, super-supportive folk. They offer LOADS of useful courses, free and for members.
@laura_c_sweeney@PrimadonnaFest Were you there this summer?! Audrey and I were there, too - too bad we couldnโt have all met up! Next year, for sure. We can have a WHQ reunion โค๏ธ
@trail_ed Zapotec was an amazing man - I love his story. Brave, humble, talented, intelligent - he was such a gifted athlete and an incredible human being.
