Ahhhhhh.... That velvet touch I do so love... ;-) And good luck in your future endeavors, although to be quite honest, the book subject matter does not sound like it will make you the next female billionaire to come out of England. Or perhaps you just need good marketing. Anyway, don't be a stranger. John W.

I don't finish here until 14th October though, so for now... That's *quite* enough from you Mr. Colby, this thread is getting dangerously off-topic! Back to your reusable code, forthwith! -----Original Message----- From: John W.

The masters is in Creative Writing and the novel is one I started several years ago but have never found the time to finish, it's about erm... I guess it's about the nobility of truth versus the attractions of artifice. It's a very silly book really but I'm enjoying working on it. No publisher yet; I need a second draft before I share with anyone. I will certainly stick around - can't imagine life without y'all - though I might have to go to digest mode and resign my modship :( Roz -----Original Message----- From: Andy Lacey [mailto:andy at minstersystems.co.uk] Sent: 24 August 2005 12:53 To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Change of circumstances Hi Roz Don't have anything practical to add (you spotted the obvious one about freelance work not readily fitting round personal timetables) but just wanted to say good luck. What's the Masters in, and more intriguingly what's the novel? Is it your first? Do you have a publisher? etc etc When can we look to see Roz Clarke in Waterstones? And I hope you'll be sticking around AccessD. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: "'Access Developers discussion and problem solving'" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: [AccessD] Change of circumstances Date: 24/08/05 10:52 Dear all Like so many access-d members before me, I will shortly be giving up my day job and looking for freelance work. The trouble is I don't want to work 24/7 - I am starting a masters degree this autumn, and writing a novel. But it would be nice to keep my hand in with a bit of analysis &/or development work, and of course the money would not go amiss. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could do this? I have 10 years experience with Access but I'm no guru, as you know. I've extended into other Office apps a good deal, including Outlook. I have some SQL dev skills and a smattering of SQL DBA knowledge. I'm getting into ASP.NET. I'm a good analyst and I think I'm a decent team leader, (whatever Tom says). My real strength is project management. I'd like to work 2 days a week, but I appreciate that freelance work never respects that kind of wish. :) Any advice would be much appreciated TIA Roz The contents of this message and any attachments are the property of Donns Solicitors and are intended for the confidential use of the named recipient only.
