Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
Seems like a cool contest! I've been meaning to write more prose, but don't have time for anything besides short (sometimes very short) stories. So this sounds like it would be a good fit. I might attempt it, especially since it seems pretty flexible with the timing.
Cats are intelligent opportunists, as are we. Had they developed opposable thumbs, I suspect they would be the apex predator despite our supposed greater intelligence. Cats are free of one thing and that is that humans with the most confidence (of which there are a very great many) are usually the dumbest. The really clever ones are the ones who can recognise they are stupid. You see, you need to understand 90% of something before you can ask a sensible question. Fortunately, Darwinism is working hard to thin these examples out. Unfortunately, sometimes these confident but dumb examples get elected as leaders. Many, many times, I really wish I was born a cat...
I agree, the hardest part is coming up with a story, but I feel the second hardest part is being interrupted while writing and then trying to get back into the story.
I see that Cubby is currently stripping wallpaper. A fine pastime in which I’ve done my share of indulging. But it’s the name variations that bear no relationship to the original that bug me. Sure, let us know what you’re doing every minute of the day, but don’t hide who you are.
Yes, I know it’s possible to check on the username but I get confused as to who owns what username. It can look really familiar but highly unlikely that I can link it to the usual given name. So it rarely helps with identifying a person through all these name changes.
You won’t find me changing my name or adding to it every five minutes. And it’s true that I don’t even know how to do it. But I could find out. I could. If I wanted to.
