TRUCK STOP
Lorraine Mace thought she’d loads of time to file her copy – until a road trip turned into the journey from hell
Lorraine Mace
Until recently, I’d always believed having the time to write, combined with a comfortable place in which to work, was necessary to ensure whatever I scribbled would have a decent chance of coming out as something others might want to read. I certainly couldn’t imagine turning out a good article under less than favourable conditions, but sometimes life chucks a curve ball and you just have to go with it.
I was having one of those rare months where I was not only up to date with my work, but actually ahead of the game. With only one article outstanding, and still a week and a half left in which to write it, I knew I’d have a few days over at the end of the month to work on my latest novel.
