http://thequestforstories.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
The Quest For Stories. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. We Had a Gowdfish Dat Died. Tremendous thanks to all those who submitted questions in the Ask Jeeves post! I'll be answering those delightful inquiries quite soon, I hope, but I leave tomorrow for some time at the beach (YESSSSS) and shall be away for the rest of the week. So, to tide you over until I'm gone, I present Summer Snippets. 8220;Don’t dogs usually just shake themselves dry? 8221; Sylvia mumbled from behind her pile of towels. 8221; Fiona cried.

The Quest For Stories: More Rochester Snippets
http://thequestforstories.blogspot.com/2014/06/more-rochester-snippets.html
The Quest For Stories. Thursday, June 26, 2014. I haven't been on here in six months, I know, and this post is kind of a lame excuse for a post because it consists almost entirely of Rochester snippets, but I had a request for more snippets from a Blog Reader and it was a most flattering request, so I decided to comply, because, y'know, flattery's hard to resist. Ncle Arnold sipped his coffee. “Now, Patsy, how did it go with showing Sylvia around the town? 8220;Small increments indeed,” Francie sno...

The Quest For Stories: July 2013
http://thequestforstories.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The Quest For Stories. Monday, July 22, 2013. Where do we go from here? Resists breaking into You Must Love Me. I rather feel as if I'm beginning a whole new blogging journey today. it's been so long since I've been on here that it's almost like a brand-new blog. You can just picture me being Chauvelin in a long beard saying that I have no memory of this place. So what's the cure for that feeling of inadequacy where writing is concerned? I can't escape writing. I don't want to. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Musings of a Hedgepickle: My Whovian Theory
http://hedgepickle.blogspot.com/2014/09/my-whovian-theory.html
Musings of a Hedgepickle. Thursday, 18 September 2014. In the cliff-hanger finale of Series 7. But that has passed, and we're up to the 12th Doctor's fourth episode. The dust has settled and we're adapting well to this very different and yet somehow familiar new Doctor. But just how did he and Clara escape? Will we ever know? Probably not. But what if.what if they didn't escape? Or rather, what if there was no possibility of them getting out on their own? With her crew of archaeologist friends. Surely mo...

Musings of a Hedgepickle. Wednesday, 26 November 2014. When The Lion Called: Eight Years On. Eight years ago, on 26 November 2006, I nervously clicked on the "register" button for the online forum of a website called The Lion's Call. Website (TLC) was created by Kristi Simonson for fans of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. Books, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Film (which had been released just less than a year before) and speculations about the Prince Caspian. Which one of the TLCers was to convin...

Musings of a Hedgepickle. Tuesday, 5 February 2013. Trotter: A description of the development of the character Aragorn. Was the name originally used for the character who would eventually become Strider (Aragorn) in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. The innkeeper, Barliman Butterbur also refers to him as a “Ranger ”. Whilst writing, Tolkien was continually plagued by the question, “Who is Trotter? After reaching the arrival at Rivendell for that first time, Tolkien got to a point where he was unh...

Musings of a Hedgepickle: Owl City and Doctor Who
http://hedgepickle.blogspot.com/2014/01/owl-city-and-doctor-who.html
Musings of a Hedgepickle. Friday, 17 January 2014. Owl City and Doctor Who. The following post contains various spoilers for different episodes from the new Doctor Who Series (1-7 and Day of the Doctor) and assumes a knowledge of the events in them. There is also reference to the 1996 Doctor Who film. I have tried to avoid spoilers for that, but have included some pictures from it. But I think the story best fitted to this song, is that depicted in the episodes Family of Blood. Deer in the Headlights.

Musings of a Hedgepickle. Tuesday, 26 June 2012. Narnia Show in Kensington Gardens. For those interested in my experiences, I wrote the following review on the new London stage show performance of. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. On Saturday 16 June 2012, Silkdash and I made our way to Kensington Gardens in London to watch the Threesixtyº Theatre's production of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Like the trees, the animals in the play were portrayed artistically rather than realistically. All...

Musings of a Hedgepickle. Thursday, 16 August 2012. In Defence of Language Study: What is Linguistics? A little blurb on Linguistics for those of you wondering what on earth it is that I study. What Linguistics is not:. There are two common misconceptions regarding what Linguistics is about. Firstly, Linguistics is not. A language and its rules is not the same as being fluent in that language. And while fluency in many languages is preferable, it's not necessary. So what are these sub-disciplines? Looks ...
