Breakfast of Champions

Well I’m slowly getting there at last. I worked on my novel some more last night and it’s now topping 50,000 words. It’s not a great distance from the end now, it might make 60,000 at this rate, but it is only a first draft, after all.

I always do the first line well, but have trouble doing the others. - Moliére

Amen to that!!

Come From The Land of the Ice and Snow…

Well there needs to be a report on my writing progress, here.

I'm finally getting on with it a bit better. It sits just shy of 50,000 words now and I wrote quite an important crux chapter this afternoon so I reckon I'll get it finished and hopefully I can print out a copy and go and get it bound so I can lend it to Jimmy to read. He'll give me an honest opinion!

I'm not wasting my time, for didn't a wise man once say: We are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anyone tell you any different. That man was Kurt Vonnegut and wasn't he hitting the nail on the head!!

Pottery in Motion

Dear God!! The world's ending. I wrote a poem! Everybody panic!! I ain't writ a poem in aeons.

If anyone asks.
Y'know.
If anyone wants to know.
Just tell them I'm alright.
I'm doing fine. I'm doing better
than even I expected.
If anyone asks.
You know,
if they just casually
drop it into conversation
and ask if she's alright
(meaning me of course).
Tell 'em.
She's just fine.
The worst is long gone
and the best is yet to come.
But she's fine, thanks for asking.
she's I'm doing alright.

It was a time of rebirth…

It’s been a while since there was anything on Turquoise Floyd’s World. I had a while where I just didn’t know what to do with the site and now I’ve renewed my domain, it seems pretty important that I do something with it.

So here we go. I decided that a blog was the route to take. It’s a World of Dork out there…
