Check it out (to the right, to the right) , I'm hooked, your probably already hooked. If your not then you will be. I've already had some lovely new visitors. I've had a visit from Caroline herself and been introduced to Carol and Chris. Checking out their blogs are weaning me off the widget slightly. I just love reading new blogs!!! Thanks Caroline and Stray. I am a very happy (and somewhat distracted) blogger.
In other news, I managed (a record for me) a whopping 1, 851 words for my LBD entry. I honestly thought the closing date was the end of September but after a 2nd look yesterday I realised the closing date is the 16th and they only accept hard copies so I aim to get it sent on Friday at the latest to make sure it gets there on time. Anyhoo getting off the point slightly I wasnt 100% happy with the half written story that just wasnt going anywhere and so I took a chance on a idea that just came to me yesterday and went with it. I couldn't stop typing. I finished the story in about 2 hours (with occasional crisp eating breaks). I now just need to edit it and away it can go. Wish me luck!!
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe widget is cool isn't it!!
Good luck with your comp entry! Also, loving the widget!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your entry!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all. I need it. I shall be sending it tomorrow so only one more night to edit and off it goes. I'm getting nervous again! Still, I have a cool new widget to take my mind off things.
ReplyDeleteI'm here too thanks to the widget - and wishing you luck :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Trousers, I think Caroline and Stray should be very proud bringing everyone together. its so exciting. I'm heading round yours now!
ReplyDeleteHow bizarre! I came here via the little black box, and here I am - LBD herself! Fascinating! I love the name of your blog - reminds me of something Lenny Henry said years and years ago; "Life's like a fruit machine. Sometimes you get a cherry, sometimes you get a lemon, and sometimes the handle just comes right off in your hand. I think tonight was one of those nights..."
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you
LBD xx

LBD – That’s a great blog name. I’m glad you like mine. I was going to change it a while back but I decided I quite liked it. Lol that made me laugh. I love Lenny Henry ‘look at the chimleys’ lol
ReplyDeletePapercuts – Yes an evil genius. I love it!!
Hello J.J – I feel privileged to be your first! Here’s to many more. Hope to ‘see’ you again
Un Peu Loufoque - Thank you– I'm glad you found me. The LBD comp is right up my street. I just sent my entry so fingers crossed.
Hi Calistro! I found the same one yesterday. I love the pic. I answered the same but I said sailing as I am petrified of flying.
Karen – Me too, it wouldn’t work earlier, I think I broke it lol. I love it when my fingers take over the keyboard and I’m amazed at the writing I produce. I sent my today too. Good luck!
Thanks Liz. It’s out of my hands now but I’m happy with the story I wrote. I now have all the free time to spend ‘Deciding’!!
Aims - Its brilliant. Stray and Caroline should get a very big award for it. I vote them for most amazing blogger widget creators. Better than any google widget ever!! Thanks for all the luck. I really need it. I have some tough competition.
