How I did it: 1. at my grandmother's funeral2. back when Thai Air had a smoking section3. delayed reaction to bad duckReally, it's not something you DO, actively, is it? But odd to know this can actually happen to YOU. Read how I did it…
How I did it: The first 100 pages or so are slow. Then you just can’t stop. I had a friend's copy for a year, before I returned it unread (or read just the first 30). Then got my own copy and held onto that unopened for another year. When I finally got past the boring bits with the York magicians, then it became un-put-down-able. So roll the snowball up those first 5 chapters, and you’re ready to go. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Do the first 3 years of the Masters count? I counted mine. Then another year after the defense to fix it up, and get it published. In between, I ate a lot of cheese and pie.And went for a walk every time I got stuck writing. Which was often. That made me (probably) the only grad student in our circle, who lost weight writing the Diss. Read how I did it…
1. LM Montgomery- Anne’s House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside, Rainbow Valley, Rilla of Ingleside: Indulgence re-read (from childhood fave) so 4 count as one (maybe not even)
2. Nancy Mitford- Don’t Tell Alfred: 2/6 stars
3. Chris Cleave- The Other Hand: 6/6 stars
Well, I just had to go and pack on a couple more, WHILE on the “be sensible and don’t pig out on beer and chips” diet. thud
So, 8 pounds it is, not 5. Who knows. Maybe the “right for me” plan will end up being -5 after all.
Also, the times I run into a blood truck (visiting Seoul), I turn out a bit under weight to give blood. They never get me during the fat years. drat.
