A Fitting Time To Begin.

cedar_groveI have a journalling book here, it's called Life's Companion - Journal Writing as a Spiritual Quest. and it's by Christina Baldwin. I thought I'd work through it, see what it brings up. I've had the book for a while, but have never had the desire to work with it - until now. So as I'm doing this NaBloWriMo thing... I thought it could be my prompts. One of the first exercises says is to make a collage of the day's events... Well, hard to do a collage on LJ, but this is my version of it...
Local
New theatre opens to the public - The project is part of Leicester City Council's regeneration scheme Leicester's £61m Curve theatre opens its doors to the public this weekend.
I'm a part of this project, along with some of the children from my school... we're singing with Sharon D Clarke - a famous (over here) actress/singer. I'm looking forward to our turn, which starts in a little over a weeks time, to perform in the new theatre - and yeah, I'm doing that before Dominic does. *thumbs nose playfully at the Stoneygate Preppie*
The full story is here
National
Dorset get Cowgirl on the Range - A former nurse from Lancashire is saddling up for her first day as a cowgirl, herding cattle in Dorset. Lisa Hawthornthwaite got the job after seeing off competition from as far afield as ranches in South America.

International
US campaign enters final weekend - The two men seeking to become president of the United States have entered the final weekend of campaigning.
Those of you in the USA can see how the UK's BBC report your elections here
Weather
Currently in Leicester we have heavy rain... yes, I know nothing unusual about it raining in the UK. Rain is some of my favourite weather though, I don't know why. I love to be inside in the the rain, and outside if the rain is a warm rain. I rarely carry an umbrella because I don't like them. There are of course exceptions to all that.
I remember getting soaked on the way to a show, which ironically was called Rain. It was kind of cold. Still - looking back - I think it enhanced the experience. The show was excellent too. Never seen it rain on a stage before...

Date: 2008-11-02 05:17 am (UTC)On, not me! I just don't have either that kind of discipline or ambition, or drive or... brain. I tried the Novel Month thingy last year and while it pushed me into writing a new novel (Midnight in LaLaLand, it's on my LJ) it took me well beyond that one month.
Anyway, good luck and I'm looking forward to the snippets of your world.
So, you're in England!
...and I hope that in no way slow you down in your writing of Act Four and beyond. ***hint***
