1. Challenge - the preamble
I created a blog challenge with my friend Juanita, you have to write a blog post each day in February. Mostly I say things like this and don't actually do them, but Juannie is obviously more a woman of her word than me and she's already done two posts, so I'm catching up. I had already created this blog and called it 'pickles pickles things' presumably to write some fascinating pickles related updates at some point in my life, but evidently none had appeared.
The main issue I'm having is that I dropped some honey on my laptop a few weeks ago, specifically on the letter /a/. It went all sticky so I got a screwdriver and pulled the letter /a/ off the keyboard so I could blow it a bit. Obviously this is what a professional IT person would have recommended, and obviously it didn't actually help. It's now only sporadically working, so I've copied the letter /a/ and every time I have to write a word with an /a/ in it, I have to press CTRL+V instead of /a/. Sometimes it works so I keep trying it. I am now wondering how possible it could be to write a blog post without using words with /a/'s in them. Bet J K Rowling didn't have this problem when writing Hrry Potter.
The motivation behind our blog challenge was to get creative and get writing. We were walking in some woods by a river, me Juannie and Siobhan (mainly walking in slidey mud around muddy puddles - Siobhan said you should walk through them not on their edges as you spread erosion that way), and talking about what degree would you do if you could do anything at all, all paid for and with enough money to live on. Juannie said creative writing; Siobhan said graphic design/art; I said anthropology. So this is the challenge for now, to do some creative writing. I once wrote some poems but when I look at them now they make me cringe.
