It appears Borton has lost his pres. Hopefully, he'll retain his sanity.

HA! We've got ourselves a threesome!

Borton is another peach of a short story from Cole. It might help if you've seen 'Cheers', but it's not necessary. Reading Borton has also answered a question I had about the election. I know just who Borton would have voted for! Read it here.

Moi? Weird? Well, I never.

Cole's 'Tricking and Treating' is a life affirming gem! In a sequel to 'A Valentine for Ryan,' Steven is now nine and just about to go trick or treating when...?

'Cyril' is a thoroughly lovely children's story, with some sly adult humour added for good measure. It's a must read! So what are you waiting for? Also, I learnt about filberts which was a boon.

'The Man in the Library' is a story with a large cast, that on the whole seemed a rather dry, though often amusing, family history. Nonetheless, the ending was superb! I can't say more without spoilers. Read it!

So... tum-te-tum-te-tum... is anyone going to take part this year? No? Too much going on, eh? Hmm.... The joy of hammering out 50,000 words in November 2020 isn't that you'll have a rough novel, but that you don't have to wear a mask while you write. Peachy nuts, eh! If you do decide to partake let me know and we can exchange acerbic emails about lack of word count, or natter on discord. 🙂

I'm running Firefox 82 on Ubuntu, and I've started having problems with the emoticons - not that important, but annoying.

It seems to make more sense than the actual debate. 😉

Here is an interesting article by Cory Doctorow: The Dangers of Cynical Sci-Fi Disaster Stories

A gold star! Thanks, Lugnutz! That's another month free of the 'sluicing down the green room' chore.

Blimey! There's someone I haven't heard of in an age. The Zot was/is a great storyteller. 'Firegrass' and it's characters further adventures are well worth a read.

Are you offering to take on the 'sluicing down the green room' chore?

I'm done and dusted, and in and up. Finally, I'm early for a deadline. I suppose it had to happen at some point, though it is a bit of a shock. Also: W00T! I will not be the one spending a month cleaning the green room.

I'm over 1000 words in, he typed gleefully, glowering at the clock. Time for bed, little Emu. Time for bed.

Ah. So that's how you do it.
