Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
My favorite cartoon bear was Yogi Bear who was the gruff philospher of Jellystone Park. Oh and uh, hey hey Boo Boo. He was smarter than the average bear.
Amethyst SkellyBones Angel I wrestled with horror for a few years after joining WdC. It's not really my thing but I figured that horror included disgust, so that's what I aimed for. My real breakthrough came when I gave up and wrote comedy horror instead. It's amazingly easy.
🦉 Owl-oween The trick is to live in the imagined country. Then, if you need to know something about the place, all you have to do is see for yourself. After all, it's your head that the country inhabits and vice versa.
Well, as I have mentioned elsewhere in WDC today, I woke up as sick as a dog. Looking back in this blog, I see that I last apologised for the slowing down in production due to illness only two months ago. It looks bad, I know, but what can I do? When the sickness fairy strikes, I'm clearly not dodging quickly enough.
Anyway, this is my latest humble apology. I will try to continue to produce my usual daily fare but it ain't easy at times. Began a story for SCREAMS!!! a few days ago and the deadline is not far off - no guarantee now that I'll finish it in time.
