Reasons to be cheerful

I’ve not written anything here since the election result. It was a shock and a surprise and it took me a little while to recover my words. Anyway, here are some reasons to be cheerful:

- I spend most of Saturday plumbing in hot water to our bathtub in the garden. The only break was to go to a great lunch at a friend’s place. And came home to finish the plumbing, fill the bath and climb in as the sun was setting. A bath in the garden under the almond trees. Bliss.

- blognite is coming. Only ten days now. And we have the regular blog meetup this week.

- Splatt has a survey for bloggers to fill out to help plan an Australian blogging conference.

- William Gibson is blogging again.

- National Novel Writing Month is coming and I am really tempted to spend November writing 50,000 words of dubious novella. Thanks to Mark for the reminder.

And a million other things. I’m fully over pretending to be a political blogger, so more personal posts from me from now on, ok….

  5. Write!!!! Don’t just be tempted, do it. 50k words. If you waiver, just peek in Pattern Recognition again.

    My writing attempts feel like a volcano at the moment - lots of stuff bubbling and smoking, but unfortunately going the way of Mt. St. Helens, and _not_ errupting! Yet…. :->
