Sep. 12th, 2003 11:47 amI'm bored today. That is, I have nothing planned and the writing is just not happening. I don't know why. I'm going to have to go somewhere and do something else because staring at this screen isn't going to help me.
Philip Pullman said the only way to get through writers block is to write, and then edit the bits that came out wrong. Shows the difference between a hobby and a job, doesn't it. I am failing miserably to take his advice.
On a completely unrelated topic: I had a weird dream last night. I was with my sister (although it might have been my friend Ellie some of the time - you know how people in dreams change unexpectedly and yet you don't appear to notice?) in a bird hide somewhere in a dense jungly-forest near a lake. We were bird watching (I know NOTHING about birds) and then along flew Viggo Mortensen. No wings, but he was there in with the birds, and it was totally normal. Then Orlando Bloom was in the bird hide with us telling us to be quiet or we'd scare Viggo away and not to point because 'he really doesn't like that'. Then I woke up.
I defy dream interpreters to come up with something logical out of that!! (What do you think?)
And finally, I've been looking at this thing and I've decided that I really should get around to making the layout more interesting. However I have no idea what I want to put on it. Knowing me it would be a strange combination of things. Advice? And also, for pretty-much-computer-illiterate me, how do I go about changing the layout?
