I also suffer from migraine, but - touching wood very hard here - have not had one for 2 years. <br /><br />Have just emerged from NaNoWriMo, which had made blog hopping a distant luxury this month.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16046551396894790532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-4821146693952622492012-11-17T05:11:48.339-08:002012-11-17T05:11:48.339-08:00Sorry about the migraine.

I knew little about him as a person, only his reputation as a writer. This makes me more eager to get at him. And awaiting your next book because I loved The Lantern this summer.Julie Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810771028650707072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-30695636061882395842012-11-14T11:49:07.368-08:002012-11-14T11:49:07.368-08:00Thanks David, Angela and Marcheline - feeling much...Thanks David, Angela and Marcheline - feeling much better now.<br /><br />Yes, definitely do know Miller's Colossus of Maroussi - and especially like his account of the trip across the Peloponnese with the Durrells.<br /><br />Good luck with the writing, Marcheline - you're in good company in not knowing the ending: surely that's what makes the writing of it interesting!Deborah Lawrensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882043247450468229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-2159258489133060272012-11-14T03:21:07.513-08:002012-11-14T03:21:07.513-08:00Sorry about the migraines...

I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this month, and although I've written for fun all my life, this is the first time I'm writing "big" with a real deadline. It's grueling, even though I'm writing stuff that I enjoy. The thought of HAVING to write is something completely different than just sitting down to doodle around occasionally. The weirdest part is that I actually have no idea how the story is going to end.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-31159676650776518702012-11-13T15:19:07.198-08:002012-11-13T15:19:07.198-08:00I love this post Deborah,I also loved that novel ....I love this post Deborah,I also loved that novel .
