i miss you all the time

Fly-by update:

( lj-cut incl. clouded leopard )

How are you all?? I hope you're all well!! I've had glimpses of some of you but not near enough! :-) :-) :-)

what novels do i like and what novels bore me

Because I do everything that self-help books tell me to do, I did the Magnae Cartae (if that's the correct plural?) as stipulated by Chris Baty (NaNoWriMo guru) on pages 85-87 of his No Plot? No Problem!. This is mainly for my own reference purposes.

( What, to me, makes a good novel? )

( What bores or depresses me in novels )

It's good because you get to be as subjective and wot-i-really like as you want.

Note the words me and to me in these sub-headings. If you seek objective, literary appraisal that does not contradict itself: please click not.

Amitabhji and me

Remember when I got to shake Amitabh Bachchan's hand last September? Well, here is a picture of Amitabh Bachchan and me! (Note: Me = person at right peering over Mr Bachchan's shoulder.) Proof!

omg, I met one of the most famous people on earth. AB is also the most charismatic person I have ever met. Both t'h and I are still quite a-glow over it.

mean gifts

I have to say I'm not bothered by the mean gifts. Where is the petition for me to sign? I love signing petitions, and now I've been left out! *stomps*

I also have to say that I always found the black rose quite romantic and the dog poo funny. Hm.

You can see that the project of writing a novel had induced magical LJ spam in me after a period of much absence.
