I am a writer living and working in London busy doodling around the idea for my second novel and rewriting my first. New to blogging at the beginning of 2011 I undertook to make a daily post during that year, and have carried on.
What started as an exercise to overcome my fear of the online world, and to understand how it worked, has turned into a regular part of my day, both reading other people’s and writing my own contributions. Now, I write about my interactions with the world, what I’ve seen, what I’ve read, where I’ve been and, sometimes, what exasperates or fascinates me.
Oh, and I make stuff up.

Just discovered your blog and am enjoying your words…
I spent a winter weekend in Moscow late 1980’s, so look forward to your memories of that city.
I noted your connection with Cove Park some months ago…my family still live in Glen Eden, Cove, where my sister has a little ceramics studio.
Regards,
Evelyn…from the now destroyed Hermitage.

/ September 29, 2011Should be interesting reading.
BTW, I don’t see what you mean by “…the tacky ads at the end of the post…” I don’t see any ads, unless you’re referring to the buttons for Facebook, Twitter, etc. You can remove those if you want under “sharing” I believe.
