Over the last few weeks I’ve asked you to read a lot of dark, serious, sad and shocking blog posts, written by people with first-hand experience of domestic abuse. And I want to thank you for taking the time to read those posts, because it’s stories like those which inspired me to start up this project. But on September 10th we are going to have some fun! We’re going to celebrate friendship. There will also be the opportunity to win some lovely prizes and, most importantly, you’ll be able to help me raise money for Refuge. Tomorrow Tuesday 10th September is the publication day for Woman Walks into a Bar and I’m asking you to join me on Twitter for a day of friendship. I want to know all about you and your best friends. Tweet me photos of you and your friends together, and tell me what you are planning to do to #supportafriend that day. Maybe you’re going to give that old school friend a call tonight, or take that weary looking work colleague a cake. Maybe you’re going to help a harassed mum onto a bus with her buggy, or stand up for a pregnant lady. Maybe you’ll lend your favourite top to your sister or take that Dirty Dancing DVD round to your mum’s house to watch together with a bottle of wine and a Chinese. Whatever you are doing for your friends, and whatever they are doing for you, tweet me with the tags #supportafriend and #womanwalks and tell about it – because I’ll be awarding spot prizes to my favourite tweets. And if you haven’t already, then PLEASE #supportafriend by downloading Woman Walks into a Bar. For only £1.59 you’ll get a funny, warm, romantic read to read from the comfort of your own home, with a nice cup of tea and a couple of biscuits safe in the knowledge that 100% of my royalties are going to Refuge. You’ll be offering help and support to countless women in need. You’ll be the best friend that they will never meet. This project is all about being a friend, reaching out to someone who feels alone and hopeless, and letting them know that there is someone out there who cares, and who is willing help. And that person is you. You are amazing. And DON’T FORGET to tweet or Facebook your purchase via Amazon with #supportafriend #womanwalks in order to be entered into my weekly Friday prize-draw for the chance to win brilliant prizes over the coming six weeks. amazon.co.uk/dp/B00E5D94SC
