I’m having a stab at a book/novel and am currently on the 4th draft.
My question was, I think, to make me feel better. Writing is such a lonely task and quite frankly boring because one knows the story inside out. I have to force myself to get on with it.

As to audio books, I too prefer fiction. we have to live real life, so who…[Read more]

My thanks.
I have never seen anything like that over here, perhaps Australians call them by another name. I shall ask around.

I’ve been told never to explain myself. Your friends don’t need it and others won’t believe it.

Name calling doesn’t do you any credit.

Thank you so much for the information – yes I only smoke 12 a day, down from 25, I cut them in half.
thing is, what on earth is a vape shop?

As to the ginger cake, I also make a sticky ginger cake (when the mood takes me, which isn’t often) and it’ use by date never comes close. *grins*

Housework? Who needs it. I’d rather be on…[Read more]

@miapatrick

It’s strange, because I recently bought The Plantagenets and you couldn’t get more gory than that.
As you say, people in Medievel times, were very violent and brutal, but when it’s true (as well as they can make it, after all they weren’t there) I don’t mind it as much. Still, I haven’t seen it so cannot judge it.

A dear friend loves Game of Thrones. Although I haven’t seen it, and therefore cannot judge it, what I have heard, from several people, is there is a lot of bloody ( as is blood and gore) violence and sex. Even our friend told me as much, but she loves it. Not for me.

Really enjoyed the Fall and the first Broadchurch.

My thanks to you too. I understand what you mean.

Thanks, I was just curious as I’ve heard this before, and wondered whether you too avoided working at times.

That’s nice! What brought that on?

You know I have considered the e-cigarette, are they expensive? I must have a look in a chemist and give them a try. I’ve got nothing to lose.
My excuse is that i haven’t got any other addictions, like wine, chocolate or gambling. Gawd, I’m so boring. *grins*
thank you vewry much for mentioning this, and I don’t feel that you are…[Read more]

@stitchintime

All right, I’ll come clean.
My question is: Do you ever have days when you would so anything at all rather than write?

If not, I do. If so, we are in good company.

Nictotine is a tonic – a stimulant – good for brain work, in moderation. It certainly doesn’t make me moody or irritable. Unfortunately, it’s the rubbish added to the tobacco that can do the damage to heart and respiration.
I wish I didn’t enjoy it so.

the $2 million is an alarming figure. It’s never quite registered to me how much cancer costs to treat, despite losing a father to it (not smoking related as far as I know, that is, he never smoked, and had cancer of the bone and blood.)

Since you mentioned it, a woman died a couple of years ago in her sleep just short of her 100th B…[Read more]

As for parks, you don’t need smoke in them if you can smoke on your porch, your deck or your kitchen/lounge! 🙂

Can you see me and my family going off to a park with the grandchildren for a picnic, and after a couple of hours I fancy a fag, so nip off home to have one? Come on, be reasonable. *smiley face*

PuroSolo

Yes, there is a lot less smoking now, and that isn’t a bad thing. One of the reasons for tighter laws is the fact that some people dump their fag-ends anywhere – disgusting!
I am a smoker – you may have guessed – but I always carry an ashtray with me and keep well away from people when I have a smoke. I can appreciate that smoke can…[Read more]

Your tale puts me in mind of a game called “consequences” – ever heard of it? Good fun.

But, you havne’t answered my question? I’m genuinely interested to know.

@theconsultingdoctor

Now wouldn’t that be nice. close the doors and write – and back for dinner.

Do you find that you would do almost anything, make any excuse, to avoid working? I mean getting stuck in to your writing? If you do, then you are in good comapny. Quite a few writers’ have suffered from this ague.
