Continuity

*waves to Rob and anyone else who has followed me over from my domain*
I decided to shift the blog here from lostinthought.net because I wanted to have a more up to date version of WP. Then after I did the redirect, my info and everything associated with the old blog disappeared! Blah. That okay though, [...]

In case I forget…

My life has been turned upside down, and yet the friendly folk at Lycos expect me to remember that their webhosting service has gone bust! I’m supposed to move my domain to someone new by the 29th or something, I think. And I still haven’t. Just some advance warning: if I decide not to renew, [...]

A song and a poem

I just discovered this song, it’s beautiful. Mmmmm, snuggly winter music. Must try the rest of the album now…
Listen online here.
And I just wrote this. Poetry has been a long time coming, I’ve missed it.
Don’t knock me off my perch
I’m fragile up here
Confident and calm
The slightest word will send me flying
Back into the depths
This is [...]

NaNo-ing busily

I’m plugging away at my NaNoWriMo novel, it started off really easy but I’m slowing quite a lot now. I’m wondering if I was so keen to start this year that it made me write like a crazy person and get 6,000 in the first two days. Ah well! I’m at 13,000 words now, which [...]

They make my heart melt

Radiohead’s new album; one song stands out and catches at my throat making it swell ’til I can’t speak. I know this feeling so well.

I’m the next act
Waiting in the wings
I’m an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the days
That you choose to ignore
You are all I need
You are all I need
I’m in the [...]

November wallpapers for fellow novelists…

I found a great link to some beautiful NaNoWriMo wallpapers today. I used the misty river one last year and was really happy to see it again! Thanks to ShatteredByRain for updating them for 2007.
I still haven’t fully formulated a plot for November, but I’m getting there. It’s starting to form in my mind but [...]

More quotey-ness :)

I keep finding great quotes online. But I still can’t write, online or off. I think I have creative block because I’m happy for once. Not that I’m complaining!

We each have a journey in this life and you can’t really know where people are supposed to go, maybe they were supposed to be [...]

Quote

I found a good quote today, alongside this amazing photo.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge — myth is more potent than history — dreams are more powerful than facts — hope always triumphs over experience — laughter is the cure for grief — love is stronger than death.
- Robert Fulghum
