So far, instead, I have:. 1 read a chapter in "Writing 21st Century Fiction";. 3 considered creating a blog post concerning why my thoughts seem to be coming out in lists;. 4 created, instead, an unpublishable blog post about plotting or pantsing, during which I (mostly) discouraged myself with the reminder that it's very possible to fail at either;.

Kimberley Starr: March 2011
http://kimberleystarr.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 3 March 2011. J ate his tooff. He didn't taste it. Does that make it okay? He's a very lovely boy who hardly ever uses his teeff to bite anything (except food) so we think his tooff should be pretty valuable. He promises to give it to you later if it turns up (anywhere). Please let him have $2.00 anyway and he will be especially careful not to swallow his next one. Posted by Kimberley Starr. Wednesday, 2 March 2011. Getting back into things. I'm back in Australia!

It tells the story of Luca, a young Italian knight who is one of the only people who can see demons, and Suzan, who is the last speaker of the dying language the book is written in. The Book of Whispers. The answer is, a notebook!

Thursday, 11 April 2013. How many words per day? Over the years, I've collected rumours about how much writers write. I used to think this was for inspiration. So, what has inspired me?

Sunday, 28 September 2014. The One with That Guy. Prowling a Kyoto evening search of the world's best Indian food (where else would you go? I was walking down Kiyamachi Street, Kyoto, with That Guy. Oh yeah, the food wasn't that special, and I also saw the Golden Pagoda. Breathtaking, really. Surrounded by squealing photographers. I could have been excited enough to faint. Posted by Kimberley Starr. Saturday, 27 September 2014. KyotoWhat is the collective noun for butterflies? I'll fix it when I get home).
