« Week 122.5 – Behold the Ballet
Week 123.5 – Boxing day blogging »

Week 123 – ‘Twas the Sunday Night Before Christmas…

December 22, 2013 by EJ

…and all through the house
Were trails of glitter and
Wrapping paper scraps!

Yes, it’s that time of the year when writing really goes into hibernation for a few days.

I can’t tell you what I’ve been working on this week – I know I was thinking about the ballet and wrote some notes but other than that I can’t actually figure out where the last few days have gone. It’s been incredibly busy.

But an idea keeps popping into my head, and it’s the kind of idea that needs a lot of attention. I’m not sure what to do with it yet – all I can say is that it was inspired by something I saw in London. It was something that made me reflect on how blessed I am in my life, and how incredibly lucky I am to live as I do; something that has already influenced a change in my own behaviour.

But it is also something I am not sure I could do justice, writing-wise, right now.

So I’ll hold it in my mind like a grain of sand that hopefully one day will form a pearl; if that day comes, I’ll share it with you as if it too is a Christmas gift.

In other news – We’ve got to number 13 in the 100 best novels – Wuthering Heights.  Yes, it is one I’ve read; as I mentioned last week I was influenced by Jane Eyre.  I can’t help thinking of Kate Bush whenever I hear the title now though – it’s a bit odd to think the song is older than me!  And just in case you’ve never heard it, enjoy this video and revel in the 1970’s 🙂

Also – I read this article about the discovery of early PG Wodehouse work; I am always fascinated by discoveries like this and wonder what else is out there waiting to be found once more.

And finally – As my next post will be after Christmas, I just want to wish you all a happy and peaceful few days, whether you are celebrating Christmas or not!

Happy writing,

EJ

🙂
