Where am I?
As much as I'm anywhere online, I'm here these days. -
Obligatory end of / start of year post
Hmmmmm. So I'm not sure how much I want to continue an online presence in 2015 since, let's face it, I'm pretty minimally online as it is and goodness knows it's not exactly like a lot of people read anything I post anywhere. So, after reading a Lyanda Lynn Haupt blog about keeping a regular old notebook journal, I'm thinking about actually writing ( Read more... ) -
Of Christmas and Boxing Day

Waving, maybe drowning cut and paste post: Joseph Anton and I have broken up
I've so been looking forward to this particular post and now what I am is, possibly, coming down with something and my head feels, oh! so fuzzy. But inspired by Mr Rushdie, I refuse to let that stop me from declaring, with great joy and relief, that I have finished Joseph Anton. Honestly, it's a day that could not come too soon ( Read more... )
