Goal for today. Go to bed soon after my Italian lesson so that I can get up early tomorrow, raving to go and ready to write. #amnotwriting #shouldbewriting #amprocrastinating

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. Day One m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X...

In my memory feed on facebuk... today was a suggestion that I write a self-help book for immortals. In the interests of market research, would any of you immortals buy it if I did? #selfhelp #immortals #immortality #amwriting #shouldbewriting

After another writing battle finishes, I'm disappointed only to get 3 points. Time to get back to my novel maybe. #writingbattle #amwriting #amreallywriting

Love is a tennis score soon discarded Love is laughter light, kind and sweet Love is the bad times disregarded Love is forever or just for one beat Love is joy exploding within Or a silence together tonight Two hands touching a secret grin. Kissing and holding after the fight.

Here's what I would love... a kindle of kindles (other e-readers are available). One is the index and the other 500 are the content. It annoys me that I've filled my kindle and Amazon won't let me buy another.

I've been here a month and still haven't introduced myself properly. Hi, my name is Alcuin or Quinn. I lived for fifty three years with undiagnosed epilepsy and now another eleven years since diagnosis. Hello everyone, my name is Alcuin and I'm a complete failure. There should be AA for failures.
