I’m halfway through War and Peace, and the only reason I haven’t finished it yet is that I accidentally left it at home when I went to Ireland for a week on holiday! It’s really good, I’m loving it and I don’t understand at all why people get bored with it or find it hard to read. I like the huge number of characters, because you don’t get bored following one person around all the time, and you get to see each character from different perspectives as their individual stories start to merge. It covers everything, philosophy, love, battles – and speaking of battles, I was no less interested during the war part, even though I’m a girl and I actually don’t have much interest in military history. It’s even funny in places.

Today is the fun part – I get to sit around idly doodling out ideas, waiting for a good ‘un. Then the fun of planning, beginning any research, etc. It’s the beginning of a project like this that’s the really good part; the writer’s block in the middle, when you’ve set aside a whole day to work, is not so fun. Hopefully that won’t happen to me though, I know a couple of people in the online writing community that have dealt with more blocks than you can shake a stick at, and they’re always nice and helpful.
:D

I weigh 146 pounds. That’s just awful. But today I’ve eaten 2 nectarines and I’m about to make a very low fat sandwich! And I’ll do exercises later too.

Yay, I’m going to lose weight! <—desperately clinging on to positive attitude…
