No writing today due to reasons explained ad nauseam in my own journal. I hope you folks were more fortunate.

that sounds like a day of rest to me. and rightly so.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Haha, no, rest definitely wasn't part of the routine today!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good day for you, anyway.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It was, although bloody exhausting.

i came.
i saw.
i coughed
i coughed some more
and i wrote : today's offering rolled in at 2100 ish

my brain feels like a slug has slicked over it - tmi, sorry.

hope everyone is well and thank you all for the messages of support. i still feel like a failure having not been able to go the distance for november with what i set out to do (even though i was hospitalised for four days with this silly virus/bacterial infection thing) - what silly pressures we place upon ourselves!

i hope to be able to produce a little more in the days to come - but the pleurisy is a pain so... fingers crossed!

i'm looking forward reading up on everyone's achievements!
onwards!

Adding my own tale of woe, my health has let me down again, I've been off sick, for days at a time, not weeks or months, so it could be worse. Beginning to perk up a bit - but haven't written anything.

A couple of folks have asked for sequels to stuff, and I have been tempted to follow up on one or two things. But I like to write when it's a pleasure not a chore (I already have a day job, which is going through a pretty thankless phase at the minute, so I see no need to add to the sum total of my disenchantment).

I do have some hoary old fic that I posted about last year (and the year before that - they really are hoary). So I'm not going to bore everyone with them again. I did think I could maybe archive some stuff I've already done on AO3, but that requires more effort than I apparently have the will for at the moment.

Still, I've posted here, so maybe I'm coming up from the slough of despond.

tales of woe! brilliant name for a community of it's own!

i raise my ferrety paw in solidarity - the november bugfest!

and i'm totally with you on the writing is not a chore. there's been a sequel sat on a pile for nearly three years. the original was very successful and well received, and people have begged for a sequel - even i had the intention (misplaced) of writing a sequel but have never been able to recapture the vibe or the impetus. the thing just rattles around in the works that shall never be finished file.


hope you ditch the bugs and get the mojo back soon.

Speaking as a person with a ferret mad niece, I appreciate your paw - and very much hope your own lurgy is a thing of the past very soon :0)

[ferretingabout.livejournal.com]

me too, fed up of the lurgy!!!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Still, I've posted here, so maybe I'm coming up from the slough of despond.

That's the spirit, soldier! Although we still love you when you just drop in and give us a life sign. :)

Nothing today. Clinic was busy, then I had to go grocery shopping. Wheee.
But, I've revised my plan for the next blog post, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to write up tomorrow.

[ferretingabout.livejournal.com]

look forward to it.

A few words squeezed into a day of music - 130 words of a different take on Wales, looking at two of Telford's bridges on his Holyhead road.

with rapid movement and communication between London and Dublin suddenly far more important, and Holyhead the main port for Dublin, a good road link across north Wales suddenly became essential
