Hi! I only now got to read your (Marlene Cameron) very interestingly
informative and most engaging e-mail of 9/29/99 re your trip to Scotland
and I must say I do hope you will tell me you are a professional writer (or
at least that you are aiming in that direction! For you truly are one gifted
lady! I was most disappointed that it so soon ended! Your descriptive
scenes just wrapped themselves around me and pulled me in to share the
experience and also the people! You go, Girl! -- I hope you keep a
journal/diary and are going to submit your writings to a publisher -- that
is, if you haven't done so as yet! I will eagerly look forward to reading
your every page/book/books! Thank you for so generously and so engagingly
sharing all you have! I also look forward to reading more from you on the
rootsweb! -- You have inspired me to consider taking a trip not only to
lovely Scotland but hopefully to Mrs. Hamill's B&B! And I am sure she and
Fort William, and your Tour Guide?Scottish Highland Entertainments -- if not
all of Scotland! :-) -- will very soon be finding themselves much busier!
-- after many have read your fantastic descriptives and praises of all!
As an avid reader (also a poet/writer and sometimes a contributing editor)
I would wager on it! And were I a publisher -- especially of a travel
magazine [ANY PUBLISHERS READING THIS?!] -- I'd call you with an offer or at
least would like to SEE MORE of your writing!
Just one more thing -- if I may ask, what exactly are "midgies" -- in the
context you refer to them? I'm in the USA! ;-) !! and so... want to
surmise that maybe you meant Leprauchans?)
Sincerely,
