The auld Library.

[JimmyHartley]

Hi there, Jimmy. How you going? Looks like some action in the auld library

Yeah, but I think I handled it well.
How are you?

*writes a note*

Sorry, I missed you again. Opening hours must clash with my work. Talk soon and say hi to CK for me.

*puts note on desk and whistles to himself as he shuts the door behind him*

I was just going to leave...

Good to see you. I think you guys were ok

Not too bad for me - it's a nice day here.

And where is "Here" for you?
Melbourne?

Sorry mate - nah - I live on the surf coast. the closest big place is geelong - about 45 mins away. surfing, swimming, fishing - that sort of stuff. I'm more of a fisherman (hence the tag) and swimmer.

Oh right, I've never really been lower than Wagga.

Well I've been most places in Australia because of work. I used to fly nearly every day till I got sick of it. I remember you mentioned Dubbo - I used to work around there a bit - well Bathurst really, but I did some work in Dubbo. One of the towns around there had the best name - Nevertire

Yes, I'm in Dubbo right now and I used to live near Orange.
But Wollongong is where I'm most at home, seeing as I actually have friends there.
And what do you do?

 

[Fish_Tales]

Very forward aren't you?

What do you do?

God - I used to enjoy Orange and Parkes too (especially in autumn)! Can't remember which town it was, but one used to have this weird elvis impersonator festival every year and i was there once. Shitloads of fun at the pub, that's for sure. But I didn't live there so don't know how they are to be there full time. Now I write, but still do a tiny bit of what I used to do but not much. I was an engineer, but travel was shocking. Then my wife fell very ill. So I do something where i can still look after my family.

Parkes is the place with the Elvis festival.
You're a professional writer?
Wow, what do you write?
You think you can have a look at my current works and give me a few pointers?

How did I know you'd ask that.... I saw your link before when I came in so I'll have a look at that. I'm not a very critical person though....

My bread and butter is corporate stuff and technical papers so pretty boring really. It's a good niche though - I have a degree in engineering and a degree in journalism. Engineers that speak/write coherently are in great demand!

Well, it wasn't really for that one.
Just on my new series, I might get around to redoing that story, one day but for now I just want to get this one out.
I've decided to take as many real life memories as I can to put in to it, not to mention motifs and inspiration from music, hopefully it's as good as I picture it to be in my mind.

In most writing, you should aim to please yourself. People like you will like it. If you're lucky, then a lot of others like it too! If you PM me a bit of it, like the start or something, then I'll have a look at it. I might be a bit slow on the turn around, but will have a squiz.

Ok - enjoy yourself, I gotta go do some coaching. At least it's still lovely out there.

See you soon

By the way - good library - the foot traffic is starting to increase!

Ok I'll send you some of the parts I think need work.
Might as well get some opinions on chapter two while I wait for chapter one to come out of the garage.

**Bit early to read a book, but worth poking my head in.**

Hello?

**Nah - back to work**

 

[Fish_Tales]

**wandering about whistling, taking a break from work, peeks in, but the library is empty - walks back to desk - oh well - work.....**

 

[JimmyHartley]

I forced someone back to work?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Fish_Tales]

Only for a little while

I have to go back again soon though - doing a question and answer session with someone for a corporate profile

Oh I see.
You're Australian right?
How awesome is Gotye?

 

[Fish_Tales]

He's ok. My son loves it. He gets a lot of airplay (now). Had to fight for it. I remember him on Tiple J in the mid 2000's - just plugging away.

I take it you're a big fan!

 

[Fish_Tales]

Well I better be off again

*waves*

 

[JimmyHartley]

Oh, missed you buddy!
I've completely run out of steam for my Angel story.
But the thing is, I've just found new excitement in another story, inspired by my clubbing days.
I have 2500+ words but they're all in a book.
Going to have fun scribing.

 

[JimmyHartley]

Yerba mate while I wait for my Socceroos to play.

 

[JimmyHartley]

Managed to put the phrase "Tickle ya cunt with a feather." Into chapter two of my story.
How many people will get what that means, I don't know.

 

[Fish_Tales]

Er...just saw that last post - interesting

How are you?
