Weather Borecast

Sunny days seem a million miles away as I look up from the laptop to see... well not much actually. No, I've got to do better than that. Show some copywriting skills, paint a picture with words, capture the mood etc. So, here goes, it's grey, everywhere. Not quite in the same descriptive league as Mr. Chekhov below but it's just grey. Or have I become colour blind overnight? No, my socks are still red but the Norfolk landscape is monochrome. Flatness is one thing, (part of the county's charm), but this excess of greyness dampens the spirits. Maybe I should do my writing at night until Mr. Sun finds his hat again.

But enough of the weather and my whingeing about it. A few inspirational and insightful quotes from writing greats...

“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
Anton Chekhov

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
Jack Kerouac

“The road to hell is paved with adverbs.”
Stephen King

“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.”
Saul Bellow

“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”
Winston Churchill


“The first draft of anything is shit.” 
Ernest Hemingway

Bit like the weather really!
