Nothing wrong with a good wild beast

A man who can be a wild beast for hours not an actual furry beast

Thanks, Dugh!  Hope you're doing well.

 

Yay, writing! Gonna try to do some of that myself. I've written a bit the past few days, but I've been working on the wrong things... 

Is there such a thing as working on the wrong thing when writing?

There is when your readers are waiting for another chapter of a novel and all you're doing is writing short stories...

My philosophy is to write what your muse is telling you to.  Your readers will wait, even if it is with torches and pitchforks.

Well, they waited for like two and a half years, I'm sure they can stand to wait a couple of weeks.

 Exactly.

Good morning, everyone. 

 

After my last visit, I found myself through a rough patch. Ugh! A few weeks form hell is what it felt like. Problems with the family (nothing new there), dealing with customers (who think that you're beneath them), working with incompetents (and they still think they deserve a medal). And, on top of everything, three of our dogs died. As you can see, I wasn't exactly in a good place. Things are back to normal, so you should expect more visits from me. Visits? Forget it! This is my home. Plus, there's a certain Canadian who needs to be reclaimed. 

 

The house looks... normal, from what I've seen. You guys were on your best behavior. I'm impressed! And skeptical. (I'll keep a close eye on you) 

 

Anyway, this will be all for now. Hope y'all have a great day, afternoon, evening and good night accordingly. See you around.

G'day, bignick.

I currently have 5...

• Strong wholemeal flour (for bread)
• Plain white flour (for cakes and biscuits)
• Self raising flour (for cakes - basically plain flour with added raising agents)
• Cornflour (for thickening sauces, etc - I think it's called Cornstarch in the US)
• Almond flour (for certain cake and biscuit recipes)

 

Plus a Strong white flour 00 to make pasta

Oh yeah I didn't count the cornstarch. I didn't think of it as real flour, more like the magic ingredient you sometime use. I don't think we have self rising flour. Hmm, interesting.

I agree about cornstarch

Hi Froggie. Sorry to hear you had such a rough patch. Especially sorry to hear of your dogs. Glad life is improving. Your lilypad was looking forlorn without you.

Hi, Gary!  Hope you're well.

 

I am, and I see you haven't been. It seems to me colds last longer than they used to.    You take care of yourself.

She does.  Hey, a couple of hours of clipping and he'd be a new man... er... beast.   Morning, Sir dughlas.

I'm fine, just busy.  The bathroom renovation is finished and looks amazing  Now I'm going to try and do a little bit of writing today, as long as my muse cooperates.  

Happy writing.

According to my doctor, there's a virus going around that basically gets better, then worse with new symptoms, then better, then worse with new symptoms, and round and round she goes. Takes forever to get rid of. Oh well, it'll pass eventually.

I wondered what was going on, Nick. Sorry you've been dealing with such stuff, and sorry for your loss. We're always here, with the lights on. Missed you...
