Thoughts on Things: A Perfect Moment
http://skyrg.blogspot.com/2010/12/perfect-moment.html
Wednesday, 1 December 2010. In life, you sometimes get those perfect moments. Yesterday, I managed to throw a Malteser into James' mouth from about 2 feet away, on the second attempt. We are aware this will probably never be repeated. The astonished look on his face will be treasured forever. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Words, Worlds, Whirls. What Makes A Nation?

Thoughts on Things: New Blog and NaNoWriMo
http://skyrg.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-blog-and-nanowrimo.html
Sunday, 24 October 2010. New Blog and NaNoWriMo. So I've started a new blog. Seems like the ultimate act of arrogance to start a blog when you've not got much to talk about, but I'm hoping it'll encourage me to get more done so I have something to post about. On that basis, I've decided (finally) to have a go at NaNoWriMo, the month long writing marathon where the sole aim is to write 50,000 words. As far as I can tell they consider it a mere bonus if those words actually form a coherent story.

Thoughts on Things: Coffee Shops and Pens
http://skyrg.blogspot.com/2010/10/coffee-shops-and-pens.html
Monday, 25 October 2010. Coffee Shops and Pens. With a week to go until NaNoWriMo, I am plotless. Actually that's not true, I have plots, but none are very well developed. So my solution was to get away from the computer. A text document doesn't allow me to mix ideas enough or reorder as I'd like. I've found a useful little piece of plotting software, but it's only really useful if you have the ideas to fill it. Maybe I'll go back tomorrow. I wonder if they'll let me take my own coffee.

Thoughts on Things: Dust and Cobwebs
http://skyrg.blogspot.com/2010/11/dust-and-cobwebs.html
Monday, 8 November 2010. Well, my poor blog has been gathering dust and cobwebs. Much like the flat actually. NaNoWriMo started on the 1st and we managed to keep up with the word count for a grand total of. 2 days! So we're struggling to keep up a bit. We hit the word goal yesterday and were only about 500 or 600 short today, so we are catching up (although technically also falling further behind, which is a bit of a weird concept). Mother, if you're reading this, it's not anything dangerous or illegal.

Thoughts on Things: York
http://skyrg.blogspot.com/2010/10/york.html
Thursday, 28 October 2010. Most of all, I love the strangeness. It is not at all rare to encounter a Roman soldier or Viking in the streets, particularly near the big tourist attracts to lure people in. Then there's the man covered in purple paint who sits for hours on his purple bike on Stonegate. There's also the people who advertise the dungeon and the ghost walks, who lurk around the minster looking evil. Although. I think I've got some bloody chewing gum on my shoe. 29 October 2010 at 19:23.

Thursday, 11 November 2010. Today I Have Learnt. I have been quite busy recently, although when I actually try and work out what I've been doing, I'm not sure. Just. things. Dealing with finance, doctor's appointments, cooking, cleaning, walking, volunteering. Surprising how these things take time. Also we learnt out how to turn the heating on. Warmth, I remember you. 13 November 2010 at 20:13. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Words, Worlds, Whirls. What Makes A Nation? The Worlds Most Pedantic Printer.

Thoughts on Things: The World's Most Pedantic Printer
http://skyrg.blogspot.com/2010/11/worlds-most-pedantic-printer.html
Monday, 29 November 2010. The World's Most Pedantic Printer. I've missed having a printer though, the world seems to expect that you'll have one these days, not having one is a bit like not having the internet - where have you been for the last few years? Now, finally, I have access to a printer again. Unfortunately, it comes with a personality. We attempted to print again. James sent a two word document to the printer (didn't want to overwhelm the poor thing). The printer seemed gleeful about th...I'm 2...

Thoughts on Things: Thoughtfullness
http://skyrg.blogspot.com/2010/11/thoughtfullness.html
Monday, 29 November 2010. I have been in a thoughtful mood recently. It hasn't always been cheerful, but it's not all negative either. We're coming up to a time of year when Christmas is looming and the weather turns colder, money can get tight and there's generally a lot to think about. So. Some of my thoughts:. It has really confirmed, in some ways, my initial opinions of NaNoWriMo, although I'm now more aware of how other people see it and why it's useful for them, it's just not for me.
