Oiling the writing wheels

[matildabj]

Need to exercise my writing muscles a bit, and as posting last week seemed to get things moving I thought I'd try it again. Aside from that, I want to try and post some thoughts about the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead, which I watched last night. This usually doesn't go as well as I'd hope, so please bear with me.

I'll be really interested to hear your views on The Crimson Petal and the White. I liked it a lot, which is unusual because I find it very difficult to get into hysterical historical fiction as a rule. I thought Faber writes women well.

I'll let you know. I'm usually quite anti- anything before about 1920, but this is written for present-day readers and, as you say, he writes women well - and manages to convey how women lived then.

Yes, I really enjoyed it too

I haven't seen University Challenge, yet, but my set-top box claims to have it salted away, so I'll look forward to that round. It's easy, when Jeremy Paxman says that a team's average age is 19 (or whatever), to forget what that actually *means*. How little they've seen!

I know - most of them weren't even thought of when B7 was invented. Sigh.
