A birthday and a writing meme
Well, I did not get to go out because it bucketed down rain today. It is STILL bucketing down rain; in fact, it looks like November outside. I suppose I will have to wait for my trip to the Town Center until the weather is sunny again, or at least neither raining nor threatening to rain.
I did get some nice presents, though--two headsets from c_smith_author and Devon custard, Maltesers, a machine for making bread (which will be a big help--overnight, bread has become ridiculously expensive, so if I make it myself, it will be cheaper in the long run), and spotted dick pudding, which is apparently usually served with custard. Thank you both very very much. And thank you to all the people on my f-list who wished me a happy birthday, especially cyloran and ja_bucc, whose messages were very touching.
And that's it, really. It's been a pretty quiet day, all told.
Also, gacked from minkhollow and lareinenoire: Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of the following: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.
