yay ! Lee is back - somewhat ambiguously or ambivalently - but back

nanowrimo is on again - it starts 1st of November, and runs until 30th of November, and you can sign up now !

woah - John is here on the blog ... and I am just crapping on about this and that and have failed to acknowledge his presence ... yes I'll try and publish the most interesting bits from Noel ...

the trAce online writing centre is doing a survey of writers using computers and the internet:
trAce survey
you could win a 50 pound Amazon voucher, or one of 10 free places at the trAce Online Writing School ...

also,

Prairie Schooner, an American literary magazine, will be publishing one book of short fiction and one book of poetry each year through the University of Nebraska Press. There's $3000 prize money and publication. (That's $3000 US)
for information and guidelines see here
(the only drawback is the $25 entry fee - also US dollars)

today is Tuesday - so as well as being writing group day (see previous post) it's Culture Writing & Textuality day - with Noel Sanders.
John -
you could use the new levi jeans ad for part of your bathroom epic ... (the link here is that John is working on public toilets for Culture Writing Textuality, and what I'm suggesting here John, in case you'd like a little elabouration, is that the levis jeans ad brings the semi private world of the public toilet into the public public world of the roadside, and there's something interesting in there as well about the girls all being the same girl, narcissism, and the slogan which is something about a pair of jeans to suit you ...)

today is Tuesday - so writing group day - I don't know if anybody will come over - probably not as, Ashleigh is trying to find a proper job, Lee is trying to fix her house, and I will be here but will be worrying about money ...
how boring !
