November 5. Bits and Bobs...

From the archives! Taken 4 years ago today, November 5, 2012. 7:12am Point Pleasant Park, Halifax. 

Swedish movie I want to see!

Fictitious Dishes. Meals from novels.... recreated

Writers retreat in Iceland. Imagine!


Memory tricks!!  A cool Ted talk.

Writing advice from Alan W Watts.......

“Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.”
