I did start my essay last night - but it ground to a halt when I re-read the marking criteria. Evidence of reading widely and deeply is required in the form of quotes and references. Dammit. I had done 600 words (out of 2000) without opening a book.
So today I got up nice and early. I then:
1. Went to tell my neighbour, Neil, that his mate in Kiama phoned me to say he had Neil's lost phone (wierd).
2. Went to quickly feed my horse but ran into friends out there and it was a nice sunny day so hung around chatting and grooming the horses.
3. Got a phonecall from Judith who was in town so went and had coffee. For two hours.
4. Wrote more prose.
5. Had a visit and a chat with Neil.
6. Watched "Bound". Again.
7. Decided a blog was in order.
8. Will shortly go to Neil's house for dinner.
Yeah. See.... Essay schmessay.
Ooh! I almost forgot! I received a call from Cat - the director of "Quandary" - I'm playing Ami - the woman suspected of murdering her husband. YAY!!!
AND I've been having lots of fun writing - not essays, obviously - but check out this site, it's such a fun idea. You have 7 1/2 minutes to contribute to stories with other writers. It's a hoot - and very freeing - www.storytimed.com
I think I have time for a nap before dinner.
