Write a Song

It's a bit cheesey and may need editing but this is my attempt at a song.

It takes a special kind of man to care for a woman like me
Are you that special kind of man to care for a woman like me?
You are that special kind of man that I need

I neeed to be pampered
I need special care
I need care and attention
and to know that you're there

Chorus:
It takes a special kind of man.....

I need love and reassurance
each and every day
I need you to be there for me
no matter what I say

It takes a special kind of man.....

I need you to know if I'm feeling OK
I need you to be right here for me
each and every day

It takes a special kind of man....

I know you can't fix me
I know you can't help
But knowing you're here for me
Is all that I need

It takes a specail kind of man.....

Book Hotel on Friday go on Saturday

Had a lovely night way in a hotel on Friday booked Thursday, think this fits in to above criteira anyway as I just mean something last minute. We went to stay at the Hurtwood Inn in Peaslake which is also one of my pubs with fires and we then visited two more pubs with fires so that task it getting along too. Was very excited when found out that one pub with real fire also was a comedy club so was thinking not two but three birds with one stone ;-) but although in Surrey it wasn't that near where we were staying so will do that one another time.
It is quite hard to get the photos of the fireplaces because people are sititng in front of them or they are not lit. You also feel a bit self conscious taking the pics but the last one we were in I just snapped it on the way out only to hear a local say "What was all that flashing about". Have laso forgotten the camera and had to take ot on an ipod nano video so will need to transfer it. Anyway now have done 6 out of forty so getting on with it.

Writing a Book

Well if you can believe it I did it. 50108 words. It was hard going but have managed it. Have put it away now and will not think about it for a while but will edit it in a few months time. Feel like carrying on writing now like some short stories but am fresh out of ideas so will just stick with blogging for a while. Hoping to restart other blog too, have been unwell and lacked motivation to carry on but will start it again soon.
Anyway it is a fantastic achievment I think even it nothing happens to it but it sitting on my computer as one enormous file.

Writing a Novel 43365 words and counting

I cannot believe I have made such progress in the last few days. My hands are aching my arms are aching but I think I may just make it to 50,000. Have one day left to go with 6700 words to go.
Have no idea if I even have much more to write but am going to drag it out of myself tomorrow. So near and yet so far right but I really have got to do it don't you think. Wish me luck am amazed by how far I've come but am really determined to get there. Off to bed now am dreaming that am tapping on a keyboard in my sleep and tryingg to think of a bit more plot to write as am not sure I have enough content to fill up the last leg of this task. Phew will let you know how I get on tomorrow.

Writing a Novel

Unfortunately owing to being really poorly and in bed for more than a week have not been able to keep this up. I have only 4 days left to go and am only a third of the way there. Will carry on and see how many words I can achieve or will add on my "lost days" to get to mid- December to give myself a fighting chance. Have managed 16,560 words so far out of 50,000. Don't really think it is any good not able to stick to a style but never mind am still writing away. Hope to get back to both blogs for December so will be writing here anyway.

National Novel Writing Month

I am taking part in this challenge I started on the first of November and have managed to write 4984 words so far which is amazing to me. You are meant to not proof read not woory too much about grammer or plot but just let it come. It is amazingly freeing to just write without thinking is this actuallt any good and just treat it as a first draft. I am guessing that the firsr week will be easier than the next few as I have no idea where my story is actually going. Anyway I am not expecting to get it published any time soon if at all but it will be a great achievement for my 101

I Beat David on the Wii haha

Ellen brought round a new Wii game Wii sports resort with sensors and I have finaly beaten David not once but twive first on table tennis and then again on canoeing yippee, how great is that.
Have also taken Ellen out for a meal to complete taking all my children out to lunch, we went while Rosie was at college. It was good to just chat one to one as don't see so much of her since she moved out. David is thinking of doing this now too.
Have started going to pubs with fires and went to The White Bear in Farleyhole a lovely pub with lots of little rooms, it was packed and we were lucky to get a seat. It is just beyond Croydon and then you are suddenly in a country lane and then there is this lovely pub. We couldn't find the fire at first but did eventually find it. Omly had my phone with me for a pic so will need to go back to take one with the camera. Am thinking of making a poster of all the fireplaces and maybe a book or booklet maybe CAMRA might be interested lol. May go back there today for early drink.
