| A meltdown for me consists of short-term energy release into a state of very short-term zen feeling followed by feelings of nausea, failure and numbness for 24 - 48 hours max. I think frustration has been the overarching theme. Reading something every day from Epictetus (The Art of Living, Sharon Le... |

| I love them. We had the most magical thunderstorm in the Midlands yesterday. The rain was hopping off the ground. I simply had to go into the garden to experience the wondrous intensity of it all. God only knows when we'll get one here again. |

| I've tried doing "ping pong" projects before, but they never got very far. Hmm, from trial and error I would say realistically I would write 100 words per week and only if I had a deadline that I wouldn’t like to miss. There’s always that Beckett motivational speech (okay, I jest) to keep... |

I asked my son if he’d like to play a writing version of the surrealists’ Exquisite Corpse game...you know, he would write a couple of lines but only let me see the last line; I would expand on that and send him just the last line and after maybe 12 times we would... |

| I would think being charismatic means: 1) not putting yourself or anyone else down; 2) being interested in what people have to say - this can be difficult especially when a topic might not be your cup of tea (or bluntly, tedious).
