[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

'known to Tallis' not always being a character recommendation...

[Patti (baconater)]

Is 'known to GL'?

Patti (baconater) wrote: "Is 'known to GL'?"

I know some very respectable people.

[Patti (baconater)]

Do they admit to knowing you?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Patti (baconater) wrote: "Do they admit to knowing you?"

Reluctantly.

[Jim]

I admit that reluctance to dwell on the past is a issue as I attempt to get to the bottom of the story

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Or the story of the bottom?

[Jim]

a rather slim and elegant lady I would have thought

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Jim wrote: "a rather slim and elegant lady I would have thought"

True. I'm just jealous.

[Patti (baconater)]

GL is an extremely elegant lady.

Her buoyant laughter is her most attractive attribute, in my opinion.

[M.T.]

I'm looking forward to reading this Jim. :-)

[Jim]

I am as well :-)

[M.T.]

Blimey, 3,000 plus on the blog. Here is is if anyone's interested. ;-)

Hi M.T. and cheers, great blogpost, thanks - same problems here.

I'd just say that this one alone: "I also tried switching off the computer at six pm and not turning it on again until the next morning". >>> if at least twice weekly works miracles

[Tim]

It took a while to get past my initial misreading of Three hours of quality time are worth many more hours of half cock time

[M.T.]

An, yay I'm not the only one! Tim, you filthy, filthy man! :-)

[M.T.]

Tantric sex, snortle! Cock half in.

[Will]

Tsk tsk tsk. All I wanted to do was mention a blog post and look what I find!

[David]

845 words today.

I was tempted to stop at 666 when I finished a scene, but thought it was probably wise not to.

[Jim]

3000 words last night and this morning but it's just a tale from Tallis

[Lexie]

Don't say 'just'! Tallis' outpourings are a valuable contribution to the literature of the age (he told me).

[Jim]

You hadn't just filled his glass at the time?

[Andrew]

I somehow managed about 4,000 words over the weekend. I'm within sight of writing "The End" on a cyberpunk novella thing.

[M.T.]

Blimey well done Andrew, David and Jim.

I think I've managed about 600 today in two sprints, with McMini home from school ill. ;-) So I'm happy with that. Have to go eat lunch now. Might even get another one in this afternoon. Depends how we are set.

Cheers

Perhaps that was it. Before I filled his glass he told me that my outpourings were a valuable contribution to the literature of the age.

[Jim]

you might both be right

[Lexie]

Jim wrote: "you might both be right"

Well, to about the same degree!

[Jim]

In vino veritas

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Tallis's motto - Carpe Vino.

[Will]

Vino and carpets should not go together. (It makes the merlot hairy)

[Lexie]

Only when you lick it off the carpet.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

This thread is always full of useful tips

[Jim]

seems entirely sensible

[Jim]

Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) wrote: "This thread is always full of useful tips"

just very few about writing ;-)

[Will]

Lexie wrote: "Only when you lick it off the carpet."

Poets usually carry a purloined straw, just in case

[Lexie]

Especially well-prepared ones wrap a little filter round the end of it, to keep out the fluff.

[Will]

*Bows to the voice of experience*

[Jim]

I would suggest that anybody who spills wine onto the carpet barely warrants being called a poet!

[Lexie]

But you have to be prepared for the careless actions of others!

At last, done my word quota for the day - it's been like pulling teeth. 4/5 of the book done.

However hot the fires of poetic creativity burn in you, it won't stop some clumsy lout from bumping into you.

[Jim]

Tis sadly true, it's only when the offender is decorously nailed upside down to a church door that the others eventually learn some sort of good manners

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

You are very fond of nailing people to church doors. Does it work?

[Will]

It seems a very crude form of waterproofing to me

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Or feeding the scavenger birds. There will be a flock of buzzards moving in pretty smartish if that happens regularly.

Well, apart from Sandi Toksvig . . . ;)

[Will]

What door had she been previously nailed to?

[Lexie]

Quite a small one.

[David]

From the photos, it looks like Robby Krieger was the shortest of The Doors.

Surprisingly though Google says nothing about the best method for nailing a small Danish woman to him, upside down or otherwise. Or - more importantly - if it would hinder his guitar playing ability or not.
