Writer's Block: You can't take that away from me!

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I'd say my phone, then TV, then music. I was just thinking the other day that our reliance on phones is a bit silly really - obviously they're extremely useful, but people, including myself, just check them all the time just in case someone has called or text us, and I'm beginning to annoy myself by doing it. I want to use things like my phone and the internet less often, maybe I will try and not use my phone for a week and see what happens :)

Books Ninety Five and Ninety Six

Regarding the last entry, all my anxieties were unfounded and I had a brilliant time! Whitby is such a lovely place, and I love the seaside, so to have it combined with goths is just brilliant, hehe! Everyone just looks so lovely as well - I wish people dressed up that smart "normally", especially the men! I will write a longer entry soon, with pictures of Katie's award winning costume, haha, but just thought I'd write a short comment for now! One particularly amusing moment was when someone drove past, deliberately slowed down and shouted out the window "get some proper clothes"....I was wearing a primark velvet skirt and a dorothy perkins top, and Katie had on a long pinstripe skirt and a primark top!!! And I bet you the person in the car was wearing leggings or a tracksuit or something - I bet all the goths were dressed far more "proper" than them anyway!!

I've decided for this next "challenge" day I'll combine my book reviews with the "fictional book" day.

day 13 → a fictional book

Book Ninety Five - Mansfield Park by Jane Austen )

Book Ninety Six - The House of Special Purpose by John Boyne )

I've got one more book to write about, which was also brilliant, and my review of Whitby, but I think I'll leave them for another time. I think now I'm only one book out in my count on the internet and in the book i write everything down in - on here I've read 97 books and on paper i've only read 96! So I think I need to re-count them somewhere. Hopefully I don't have to go too far back to edit the numbers!!

the rest of the days! )
