Vagaries: There it is again
http://atmootpoint.blogspot.com/2008/09/there-it-is-again.html
Thoughts about writing and other stuff. Friday, 5 September 2008. There it is again. Finished, in italics. I suppose there are worse hangups to have.

Vagaries: Taking stock

Vagaries: May 2008
http://atmootpoint.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts about writing and other stuff. Monday, 26 May 2008. My last three blog posts contain the word 'finished', two of them italicised. Is this significant, I wonder? It's a bank holiday! I've spent the past three days crawling up and down the new stairs with sandpaper, woodstain and Danish oil. My knees ache, my back hurts and my wrists are sore. 31 spindles, 2 more newels and the landing handrails to go, then I'll be finished. One way or the other. Wednesday, 21 May 2008.

Vagaries: October already?
http://atmootpoint.blogspot.com/2008/10/october-already.html
Thoughts about writing and other stuff. Monday, 6 October 2008. Wow, time flies. DIY tip for the month - drilling a hole in your central heating pipe is an excellent cure for boredom. That was, of course, the latest episode in the saga of the study flooring, which had expanded so much it was crimping the pipe and making the radiator leak. The ensuing application of the drill to the offending floorboard was by and large counter productive. Of the preceding statements is untrue. View my complete profile.

Vagaries: September 2008
http://atmootpoint.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts about writing and other stuff. Friday, 5 September 2008. There it is again. Finished, in italics. I suppose there are worse hangups to have. 10/10 for writerly observation. Finished that damned short story last night and have entered it in the BSFA short story competition, where I have little doubt it will sink without trace. But, hey, I finished. It's shorter than intended but finished before the deadline, and. And - rather better news - my short story Creeping Justice. View my complete profile.

Vagaries: Who'd've thought it?
http://atmootpoint.blogspot.com/2009/01/whodve-thought-it.html
Thoughts about writing and other stuff. Sunday, 4 January 2009. Less than two mm wide and ten mm long. Dinky enough to creep through the tiny gaps remaining after I spent several hours sealing beneath skirtings and behind gripper rods with the trusty mastic gun. Can't help but admire Nature's diversity. But it would be nice if a bit less of it found its way into the dining room. I see the battle continues. 26 January 2009 at 20:30.

Vagaries: November 2008
http://atmootpoint.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thoughts about writing and other stuff. Wednesday, 26 November 2008. The slugs have left the building. I never used to appreciate coming downstairs in the morning to a slug-trail-free carpet. I do now. Heck, yes. Two more landmarks this week - we have finished. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Vagaries: April 2008
http://atmootpoint.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Thoughts about writing and other stuff. Tuesday, 29 April 2008. Should have updated this a few days ago. 'Finished' Scriptfrenzy. With 112 pages. I'll leave it to fester for a while and see if I can wring a credible ending out of it one day. In the meantime I have one or two post-rewire decorating jobs to do - two rooms down, the rest of the house to go. I may be some time. Tuesday, 15 April 2008. And the joiners are still here, along with assorted hammer drills, mitre saws and, of course, sawdust. Study...

Vagaries: Not quite November
http://atmootpoint.blogspot.com/2008/10/no-prizes-for-guessing-what-ill-be.html
Thoughts about writing and other stuff. Friday, 31 October 2008. No prizes for guessing what I'll be doing next month. Not entirely sure what I've been doing this month, it seems to have passed in a blur of school runs and study. The first assignment's been handed in for my current OU course. And I've managed to work ahead to clear a bit of brain space for NaNoWriMo. Slugs have been reported gathering in great numbers and plotting something dastardly. 17 November 2008 at 12:43. 14 December 2008 at 19:39.
