Free The Blog: Follow the literary walk

(This was originally posted at Free The Blog, part of Free the Word, this year's International PEN festival).

An experiment of sorts this afternoon. I'm going to be joining the Moving Words literary walk that starts from outside the National Theatre this afternoon at 4pm. If you'll be there, I'll be laden with bags and a natty brown and grey scarf. And if you're not...

... well, that's where the experiment bit comes in. Please sign up to use Twitter, the new social networking service, find me under my screenname 'BetaRish', click 'follow', and then - fingers crossed - you'll be able to see live updates from the walk.

No promises it'll work, and I'll post a full transcripts of 'tweets' from the walk later. But for now, fingers crossed.

The Moving Words literary walk, organised by Eastside educational trust, is this Saturday and Sunday, at 12pm and 4pm. Tickets are free but booking is essential. Please call the Young Vic on 020 7922 2922 to reserve your place.
