The other day I came upon some writing I did quite a while ago. By "a while" I mean fifteen to twenty years ago. Amid all that writing I found a series of stories I wrote. I had put them together under a tentative title, Rather Short Stories for Rather Small People. Other than being short, what they had in common was silliness, a quality I absolutely love (in moderation).
I posted one of them on one of my other blogs. It is called The Bluey-Do. You may not like this kind of thing but I really love writing this way. Have a look.
Video boy
On the weekend I was at a friend's wedding in Saint John. Actually, it was at the couple's house in South Bay. The view and ceremony were beautiful. Of course, I took about 270 pictures.
So I spent most of Monday and Tuesday (and bits of Wednesday) making a video of them. In other words, I made a video that has no video. I'd love to post the end result here or elsewhere but unfortunately I have no rights to the music I used and the couple that got married prefer not to have their day on the Internet.
Putting the video together reminded me of when I worked on radio ads. Everything is in the editing and I can spend hours and hours tweaking this, adjusting that and so on. There is a funny irony about editing. When it is really good, no one notices it. That's what good editing is about.
Final note
One last thing about that other blog of mine, Sunday Stories. It's a kind of test site. I use it to play with design and to rough out story ideas. Some stories are finished; some are starts to ideas that aren't fully developed.
As you can see if you go there, I'm currently playing with the WordPress TwentyTen theme. I'm quite liking it but haven't really played with it fully. I'm still mucking about. Thus, the nav chnages, the header changes and on and on.
So ... while I haven't been doing much on Writelife recently, I have been busy elsewhere. I'm also doing a rethink of my blogs. It may be nothing will change; it may be some small changes are coming. There may even be big changes coming. Who knows? I'm still in the "mulling things over" stage.
