I will come here often1 to add my latest ideas, and see if my story can take shape.A bit like my notebook, but I welcome comments. I may add the odd rambling diary entry about something I have seen and/or heard. I tend to go a bit George Mikes and/or P G Wodehouse at these times so take everything I write about "life" with a pinch af whimsical salt! Also here you will find Footnotes |

"Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment" -- Robert Benchley Thirteen days into NaNo and I have a grand total of 5,000 words. Having told myself that this month is for writing and nothing else, I find myself doing almost anything else rather than commit words to the screen. This week alone I have: Done three loads of laundry that I've been putting off; knitted a pair of gloves and started on a matching hat; re-organised my computer files and upgraded my anti-virus software, and given a talk at the Kingdom Hall. I have written less than 1,000 words a day and, given the amount of time left before the end of the month, I will need to triple that output starting today if I hope to finish on time. So, here I sit, at my computer, ready to write and what do I do? I think, "It's been a long time since I updated my blog. I'd better do that first." Procrastination is an insidious vice. I can think of only one way to get myself writing at full steam again. I'll tell myself that I have to do the washing up, change the sheets on my bed and mop the floors in every room. That's what I should be doing today. And I will, just as soon as I've written a few more chapters... |
