Who’s doing NaNo? I seem to have lost all my buddies on the website.
-
Hang on, I’m writing! I am. I’ll check the website.
-
My buddies have all gone too 🙁
I’m Athelstone on NaNo. Anybody there?-
I am on and buddies with Silversquidge. But I am struggling with the website as the graphics are all misplaced on my screen.

Gotcha – and Silver Squidge.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoThanks WB!
Am looking forward to Class 2 and glad it’s working out for everybody.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoI’ll put class 2 up on Monday, then.
I am also being a bit lax in the commenting and writing exercises part, but will aim to be more active on it shortly.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoWorks for me. I’ve got my journal ready, just haven’t written in it yet! But a step in the right direction.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoAll OK here – finding the time to do the writing is hard at the mo, so I need to work on that, but the timings aren’t unachievable. Just that my life needs to calm down!! When does Class 2 go up?

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoI’m a bit of a sleeping partner in this; not fully committed, so will dip in and out, attempting to keep to time structure and maybe lax in commenting.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoHappy so far, but I’m aware there’s a lot more I could be doing – and will be doing…

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoGorgeousness: My favourite bits were ‘afternoons draped in honey’ and ‘as cleanly as she peeled old skin from a white potato.’ I have been told I overwrite too sometimes. But what does it really mean?
I liked your I remember, too. Many of us chose to capture a single incident, or linked series, in our I remembers. I’ve also done it with…[Read more]

Raine replied to the topic Feedback on the Course in the forum
Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoYeah, timings are good for me too. As @kazg says – enough time that I can fit it in without feeling like it’s taking away from other stuff.

Seagreen replied to the topic Feedback on the Course in the forum
Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoIt works for me! Okay, I stumbled over the ‘gorgeous’ writing (which I may have complicated by trying to combine it with ‘something I know nothing about’) but, hey, I can chip away at that as and when.
The journal is up-to-date and close to being a habit, so that’s good, and I’m looking forward to four months of unemployment to help me catch up…[Read more] -

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoI think they are pretty much perfect in length. Enough time for me at this busy point in my life to get to them and do the reading and give it enough thought, but not too much to lose momentum. Very happy with it, thank you! x

Some people will tell you that mice will never come into a house where there’s a cat. They obviously don’t know our cat. I have just seen her sitting and watching with mild interest while, less than a foot from her nose, a mouse nipped out of the woodwork and nicked a piece of food from her bowl. I ask you…

Cats are marvellous and varied. My son’s two cats will hunt down every fly and spider with a total absence of mercy. Others take a far more philosophical approach and yours sounds wonderful.
Many years ago I rented a house which came with a resident cat named Mittens. Mittens was mainly a lethargic house-cat, mooching around from sunny spot to…[Read more]

Yes, our pussy is a gentle, affectionate creature with an almost total lack of the predatory instinct, which makes her a useless mouser but a lovely companion. Our friends who stayed with us weekend before last fell so in love with her they threatened to take her home with them.
-
One of our cats is a complete softie too. He recently spent a whole weekend lying with/on a very poorly wee girl who, whilst cuddling him, laughed for the first time in months.
-
Love my cat – until he decides he’s hungry at 4.30am. Or climbs into my lap while I’m knitting/writing/reading. Or brings in a bird. He’s very tolerant, too – Mr Squidge often plays Cataroo! (like Buckaroo but with a cat, not a donkey. And it’s me who gets the catty evils, as though it’s all my fault when cat moves and everything falls off.))

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoGoing to jump in now because time and access to internet are going to be in short supply over the next week.
I am happy with how it’s going. I have no wish for it to be any quicker than it is.

@janeshuff – I’ll try to find you. And yes, it all looks very different on NaNo from my first ever visit in June.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoTa all! The substance in question was, I believe, CBD oil; two gents were having a very animated discussion about setting up in business to supply it.
@Raine – I am a death-dreamer, too! I’ve been shot, drowned, stabbed – really weird to feel my life ebbing away in the dream.
I think the forced thing is definitely due to the fact that I try to…[Read more]
