Welcome

This blog is just to record my experience of writing a story. That is something I have wanted to do all my life. I guess it is now or never.

I am just doing it for fun. I do not really intend to publish it. Mind you, I shall give that a try if I ever get it finished :).

The blog is only intended for me to keep a diary of my thoughts and for some of my close friends, especially those at the Richmond Writers' Circle (bless them for their patience).

If you have found your way here by accident, comments are welcome - especially the kind ones.

If you are, like me, attempting to write your first novel, please share the ups and downs.

Alice Lutwidge in the Gentleman Rankers

In my story, Alice is in her late teens and an orphan. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lutwidge, his mother's maiden name) was her guardian but has been dead for six years at the beginning of the story. His self portrait is to the left.

 Alice is one of the four members of the Kensington Gore Croquet Club. She has a small private income, She lives with Gwendolyn Darling (who is fabulously wealthy) in a large mansion in South Kensington. She has occasional flashbacks to the events of the two Alice stories but can never quite be sure how real they were - if at all.

My present thinking of how she might look is coloured by how Reese Witherspoon looked in the movie of The Importance of Being Ernest.

I think she makes a good Alice.
