Miriam’s Adorable Landlady
I’ll do you an excerpt about Nettie. She’s a minor but important character to Miriam: He agreed, and they wandered back into town. Her room was a fair way from the tea house where she went to read; it was actually closer to where Harry still was. To his surprise, she invited him to see…

Almost always
All the time, actually. I can only think of a few things that I’ve passed up which might have been better to do than my goals. Namely, one very sensible factory job which I might have been better off sticking with than finishing my third year of university. The thing is, I really wanted to…

Am I superstitious?
No, but I’m paranoid. Well, maybe not paranoid, but I worry too much and I have very little faith in myself at random intervals. So… I suppose I could also be angsty. Saying that, I live in a hotel and last night I had to go and put out the bins. This involves walking a…

Aw, you guys =)
There are 90 of us now! I know there are a couple of other people who come to read my blog from FB and whatnot, but I can’t believe 90 people signed up to listen to me prattle away about trying to be a writer. It means a lot. So thanks, WordPress buddies. And also…

I’m only a little bit behind schedule
I’m sorry I had a bit of a whinge before. I’m fully aware, or at least I assume, that it’s not normal to suddenly question who and what you are, and everything you’re doing. It might be though, actually. But, I was told by some random lady not to apologise today because I bought my…

Yes, and it’s my pen name
My parents did that ‘Florence Nightingale’ thing, to a certain degree. Florence’s parents named their kids after the place where they were born, so she has a sister named Constantinople or something. My parents gave my bother and I a middle name from Malawi because that’s where we were living. We were both born in…

I forgot my own name once
I realised I’d done it when I was on a bus. It was because my Husband’s family use a nickname for me, which nobody else does. It’s the one which is easier for kids to say, and my dad uses it, but my friends usually call me Mickey. My husband doesn’t really use my name,…

Making the most of one’s resources
But not nature. After coming to terms with the likely disappearance of my unofficial toy-boy, I’ve realised that I’ve had my priorities all wrong. Instead of prioritising feeling sad, I’ve decided to prioritise not feeling sad. What’s more interesting is that I’ve just realised I don’t have to. You see, my number one anti-stress thing…

I’m double sad
I went out last night, to the cocktail bar, because I don’t technically know if my favorite bartender has left. But actually I think he has. This is very upsetting. I’m not saying flirting should be taught in schools, but it’s nice to find someone who can do it. And I’m not saying I’m any…

Should I hold a competition?
I have to start a street gang? *Consults internet* Oh no, a street crew. ‘What is that?’ I hear you ask. I don’t really know, since I havn’t tried to start a crew before. In fact, in general I try and avoid other people where possible. It does seem like a good idea, on the…
