Here we are at the end of April, already one-third of the way through the year. And what have I achieved - writing-wise? A couple of articles for an educational magazine and a few blogs.
Of course I travelled overseas for a few weeks, entertained visitors from the mainland, tutored my scrapbooking class, helped an aunt with her family tree research and also flew unexpectedly to NSW for a family funeral.
But really, I've no excuse and I'm feeling guilty. So, it all stops here.
Today I did a writing exercise - 100 words about anything but without using the letter 'e'. I found this exercise fun and challenging, well worth doing.

Amazing
sights span our world!
Many
charm us with astonishing vistas or history; or gratify us with fantastic food
and drinks. Locals thrill us with unfamiliar traditions and customs and all

I would
assign falconry in Scotland, Smithsonian in Washington, shopping in Hong Kong, duomos
in Italy, WASA in Stockholm, pandas in China and custard tarts in Portugal as
my picks in this fantastic habitat.
And I long to boost my capability with facts and data from additional outings to far
flung locations, if such an occasion is forthcoming.
