A bad couple of months

Posted 31st December 2008 at 12:45 PM by Talysia
November and December have been a bad couple of months for me. It seems like a lot of things have gone wrong all at once. I'm hoping that January will be a lot better.

A lot has happened. On top of the problems that my sister has been having, she had to spend a long afternoon in hospital after her doctor thought it wise she get checked out for appendicitis. It turned out to be nothing so serious, but it still caused a lot of worry. The family is rather close-knit, too, so I think...

An odd time

Posted 27th September 2008 at 07:07 PM by Talysia
It's been an odd couple of weeks for me.

Over these past few weeks, I've had a lot of things to deal with, from the trivial to the very serious, and I'm feeling a bit drained from it all. The upside to it is that I've been writing a lot more.

My sister has been having a few problems, one of which left me with a dilemma and worrying for her. As twins, we've always been close and there are times when I just wish I could help more. The worry over that and other things has...

Looking back...

Looking back on my old writing is hard, sometimes.

My new story takes place in a world I created about six years ago, mostly because I really love the setting and this new storyline seemed to fit right in. However, I needed to refresh my memory about certain things so I dug out my old writing books and read through them, making notes as I went. Needless to say, I was quite surprised at the amount of mistakes and inconsistencies.

Now, I know I only write for my own enjoyment...

Feed the birds...

When my cat, Pip, succumbed to the effects of old age and infirmity, a couple of years ago, I wasn't sure if I wanted another pet. I didn't think anything could quite replace him, and I still don't. But I have found somewhat of a substitute in taking care of the wildlife in the garden.

The garden has always attracted a lot of birds and animals, but I never really paid much attention to them when my cat was alive. Now, I love to sit and watch the birds, animals and insects that stop...

On books...

Posted 7th August 2008 at 05:46 PM by Talysia
Looking for books (especially older, or difficult to come by books) has become somewhat of a hobby for me lately. I get a lot of enjoyment out of looking in car boot sales, flea markets and charity shops for books, mostly old, but some new if I'm lucky. I don't even mind the funny looks I get if I go into a shop two or three times a week just to browse.

It always surprises me when I look in these places at what people put out for flea markets or donate to charity shops....
