I’ve been doing a little clearing out today, and have been surprised by the amounts of unfinished things I have lying around.
I don’t normally write my posts for my blog in the WordPress thingy, I use Windows Live Writer instead, so I can format, add colour, jazz up pictures etcetera.
Oh, by the way (speaking of adding colour) I have added a new page to my blog – there’s a link to it in the menu at the top, and over there to the right (or below or somewhere else depending on the browser!). For want of a better name, I have called the page Plain Text, and I will add to this page any post I write that may not be displayed clearly in some browsers. Most colours appear wonderfully vividly when viewed with the dark background that I use in this theme, but the theme itself doesn’t always pull through, particularly with mobile browsers, so, if I use white or yellow for the text colour, the words can not be read (or seen, in the case of white!) It’s a showcase page, I believe, and there isn’t an option on that page to leave a comment, so, if you would like to leave a comment for the post, I’ll add a link back to the post in the main blog. The comments will be visible. I like to use colour from time to time, to add a little variety to my posts, so I’ll apologise now if the post can’t be read in your browser, and hopefully this won’t spoil your viewing pleasure too much. Now back to our scheduled programme…
Oh, before I forget. Anyone who uses the link to my Talestream blog will find that the blog has been made private for now. I’m concentrating on this one blog for now, so my tales of Clancy Farquhar and all of her supporting characters are taking a little break. They’re still prompting me to get the next scene of their story written, and when I have more time, I’ll get back to that once again. Now, back to the scheduled…
One more thing. Only joking!!!
Back to the WordPress thingy to start off with. I have quite a few posts in the drafts section which I didn’t know were there. Quite a few of them were links I created when adding a reply to a comment and couldn’t work out how to add the link itself, but a couple are posts that never got to see the day of light. Whether they will or not remains to be seen, I’ll let them stay there for now. Post or Delete. That is the question.
In my Live Writer application, there are several draft posts there too. All unfinished verses, paragraphs, rhymes, stories, and one that I’m working on for posting at the end of the month. This post is taking a while as information needs to come to light before it can be written. No, it’s nothing to do with my 1642 Quest, but it has something to do with one of my challenges in the on-going 101/1001 Challenge I’m taking part in.
That last paragraph has more loose ends than a convoluted soap opera storyline, but at least it means there are plenty of avenues to go down should I find myself with nothing to write about.
The thing with clearing things out, is that there are things you come across that you don’t want to clear out. Long forgotten books, gadgets, diaries. I’ve come across a diary from 1968. There isn’t a lot in it, but how often do you come across a diary from the year you were born?
And so, on to Saturday. Shopping Day. Bad Hair Day. Need I say m
