But without it you will not be able to write, without reading so many books I mean. So there’s a circle – on the one hand you should read in order to write, on the other hand you should resist influences f other authors’ styles.Helenhttp://www.privatewriting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602160637109890387.post-7138316456147664592014-01-04T20:50:35.839-05:002014-01-04T20:50:35.839-05:00I occasionally notice an error or a formatting pro...I occasionally notice an error or a formatting problem and fix it, but usually my prose just springs flawlessly from my keyboard, because I are a jeenyus.

You've got, like-- 20 things on here or something (I didn't count them actually). I can't think of anything that happened last year really. Oh except in September: Living in Utah while you went vacationing in Utah [to] meet people and didn't meet me. Hehe, actually this list is very inspirational. Ima have my own someday perhaps. I turned 57 this morning, I suppose that's something (eeep). Maybe I'll start a blog, but I know I'd always compare it to this one. I wonder if you ever delete a post after you've written it because you thought it seemed stupid, or if every entry you put up just rolls through the keyboard sounding perfectly interesting and legit? Are you ever regretful about older posts? Could that be like being regretful about events of a previous year? Well anyway, here's to another nice 20-something-events List for you in 2014, Runehorn. - AvailethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602160637109890387.post-74249790594501229412013-11-25T17:32:20.048-05:002013-11-25T17:32:20.048-05:00Availeth likes those things too, but nobody ever g...Availeth likes those things too, but nobody ever gives her any.

Maybe they're trying to help their patients (or their patient's people) have more time to emotionally prepare. When my beloved cat began to decline, I didn't take her to the vet (I couldn't afford very many visits), but I knew the time was short. I later regretted not letting her go sooner than I did, but I just couldn't bear it. I read somewhere once that statistically, people pass away on Mondays more than any other day of the week (I know I'm not writing very well here, sorry about poor syntax at 2 o'clock in the morning). Anyway ... it's a nice thing that animals, dear and sentient as they are, live so much in the moment that they don't know about Mondays ... or veterinarian predictions.<br /><br />What kind of dog is Zoe? -- besides a "good dog" :)Availethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553958335526740866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602160637109890387.post-72247841190520732392013-11-03T12:56:11.747-05:002013-11-03T12:56:11.747-05:00Hello from Availeth ... washed up on your beach fr...Hello from Availeth ... washed up on your beach from the sea of life, heh.

If the answer is 'red' or 'black' or 'blue' then he's probably straight. If the answer is 'teal', 'aquamarine', 'salmon', 'cobalt', 'seafoam', 'midnight' or 'charcoal', he's probably not straight. <br /><br />The assumption is men have a 3 bit colour palette (8 choices) and women and artists may well have an 8 or even 12 bit colour palette.
