I chose to live by the sea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that I might enjoy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Periods of reflection and thought <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if anything my life became busier <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had nearly finished my fifth book<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But could not decide on an ending <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was until the day I met <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amanda Birdcircle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who was a guest at a nearby wedding <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She sat next to me on the harbour wall <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And asked me whether I was a fisherman<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had met many Amanda’s before <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But one was different as she almost disliked me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We walked for a while towards The Blushing Mermaid<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I told her about the new book and my problems <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said that she was a writer herself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And would write me an ending for my consideration <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was to wait two weeks and then visit Gull Cottage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This I did but she was not there although I found a note <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directing me to a cupboard at the top of the stairs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There waiting in a pair of her black tights <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was the ending that she had promised to write <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My book was published later that year <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did I use the soft words of Amanda Birdcircle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is open to question as only two people know the answer <\/p>\n\n\n\n
