h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

>>Do you have a hobby? Can you write about it?<< : Yes(several) and perhaps yes. As an Entry or as a story in the Post is what I was wondering as I'm not sure I'm up to a Guide Entry

You could certainly write either a journal - I'll add you to my friends list so I can read it, or an ordinary Entry, or you could submit an Entry to the AWW for Dmitri to gather for the Post? I admit I am fast running out of time myself for the one I have half written.

Nice to hear from you Keith, how are you?

I'm well thank you and I've been busy with RL but I'm getting more time (kids have left home) now so I'm trying to get back into writing a few more bits and pieces and also to be a bit more active about the place.

The writing part is a bit of chore sometimes and it really shouldn't be but I find myself getting sidetracked all the time whenever I do a bit of research on the net or grab my OED's to look a word up and that usually signals the loss of a few hours or more as I get lost in that damned dictionary...it's been doing it to me since I was in primary school with my pocket Oxford and now that I'm wearing long pants I get to read the big OED....

Useless on grammar of course and if it wasn't for spellcheck this would be a mess but I can usually write something that's not too boring if I stick at it.

I've got an idea for a story or it could possibly be changed into an Entry perhaps. I'll try to get it started over the next few weeks(hopefully)and pop it in my journal and I'd take kindly to you having a squiz at it if you find the time in your busy schedule.

I also have an idea for an Entry but I think I'd find it a bit hard not to sound exactly like my main source of information. It's a bit of a conundrum actually, my one QI I did was about it and in my final longish wrap up of the QI someone suggested that it would make a good Entry and it got me thinking that maybe I could, but I'm now into my second and third and fourth book of the subject.I'm sort of reading them simultaneously, swapping them around as needs be each night in bed so I can verify things or get a better perspective but gee whiz it takes a long time.

As you can see from the above I can waffle and waffle well and I think I'd waffle for far too long about this subject and lose the readers interest, taut and succinct is not a descriptive for my style that's for sure

Right, speaking of bed, it's that time now.
