Does being grumpy count as an activity?
Avoiding the hoovering, avoiding ironing, nursing a mirgaine.

Oh, no. But would it be a superb novella? I guess re-visiting something from eight years ago is bound to do that. I'm sure you'll nail it in the end. I have total faith in your writing skills.

Thank you for your kind words. It is amazing the difference eight years makes to writing. I can see immediately all the mistakes, the overegging, and fat padding on my sentences. If nothing else , it will be a good exercise in editing. Quite cathartic in fact.

Listening to @RainbowNerdAlix tap,tap,tap on her Mac while playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey for some light relief. I might do some writing later but ATM I'm not inspired.

Almost!! He was looking at some Civil War swords because you know, he doesn’t have enough of them already.

In my WIP 12 of my characters have to go to a fancy dress party as a biblical character and act out a scene from their life, so I'm trying to see who best fits who... Am I asking for trouble? Ah, there's a reason for them to do this, it's supposed to show up what the demon is doing in real life.
No, I didn't invent this kind of parody, Shakespeare used the method of a play within a play when Hamlet wanted to show everyone what really happened to his father and enacted the murder.
I'm using the episode of Herodias daughter, Salome, who danced so well for Herod the King, that he promised to give her anything she wanted. Her mother told Salome to ask for the head of John the Baptist- why? Because John had told Herodias that marrying her divorced husband's brother, was simply fornication. And she didn't take too kindly to that.
Now, I'm really trying hard not to show off, do bear with me!
Hope your migraine's better @Barbara

I've been at a kayaking comp all weekend and spent my downtime trying to thinking up an idea for the Australian Writers Centre Furious Fiction competition. Got home and managed to get the required 500 words down with 2 hours to spare on the deadline, phew. And now for sleep. Zzzz
