So tell me about??

   Writers, are we a curious bunch or what?

  It was recently brought to my attention that I can be overly curious. Yes, OVERLY was stressed in a not so nice way.

My first thought was not one of 'How rude!' or 'Jealous', it was "How can one be overly curious?"
I mean either you are curious by nature or you are not, so slightly or overly should not be dangled in my face.
I guess I should have known since this person who commented, has never displayed a case of interest in anything other then cricket. (the sport not the insect)

  What made them comment in such a way? Yes, I did ask, which just earned me a "You just proved my point".

Writers Block

Those two words are powerful enough to strike fear into even the most experienced of writers. But do you know what? I’ve recently come to believe it is merely a figment of our over-active imaginations. It’s what we’re good at after all.

Writing Challenges

SoCNoC 2011 not so far away.

The Southern Cross Novel Challenge is next month.. ok, breath slowly and tamp down the rising panic.
Still plenty of time to work out plot, characters, motivation and pack the freezer with dinners.
