That Quiet Support
“True friendship is shown when a person not able to partake of something so natural to his friend, nevertheless begrudges him not; but on the contrary actively encourages him in that quest and prays that his friend succeeds completely.”
Often, thoughts flash before the inward eye,
We know that if we do not write them down
In that moment,
By the time we have something to write with,
The thought has gone.

This piece of paper and folded in an old paperback on the Cheltenham – Newcastle-upon-Tyne interCity en route to my home in Liverpool, is just such one fleeting moment, which I came across this morning as I opened an old paperback.

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
