Day 91 - Carrying on, but not according to plan.

Crazy weather. The storm's got steadily worse all day. Sadly it scuppered Grotty's plan. Baggy had every intention of taking Grotty to work with The Boy Wessles again today, but Clever Bird stopped her. Wesley was a total angel yesterday. Considering that he's done nothing for months, he seemed to really enjoy himself. But the wind today is crazy strong. Things are flapping about, blowing up and crashing down left, right and centre. Ordinarily this wouldn't bother Grotty. Wesley is quite happy in the wind. But as Baggy is still not one hundred-percent fit, she doesn't want to risk a drama. It doesn't take much to spook Wesley. Although most of the time the things that do spook him are far from obvious. He'd probably ignore the tree blowing over next to him, or a branch crashing down. But a leaf being blown onto his nose - Heaven forbid! Grotty being nervous that something might spook him would be enough to have him wondering whether something was wrong. So Grotty decided to leave it for another day. There's no rush.


So instead Creative Clara has been writing. Just her blog and her personal diary. She's trying to get her head straight. Writing helps. Re-reading her diaries also helps. She is trying to decide whether to carry on with her series on www.channillo.com. Clara was incredibly flattered when its founder asked her to write for them after reading Baggy's blog. But Freda Fretter wasn't sure about it. But she gave it a whirl anyway. It's an interesting concept. Subscribers pay to read novels, short-stories and journal-style entries on-line. For $4.95 a month a subscriber can follow ten different authors' series. But sadly, so far Clara has failed to attract attention. Mind you, most of the authors on there are quite well known. Then there's Baggy! But there is not much point in Creative Clara pouring her heart and soul into it if no one is reading her words. Clever Bird is trying to answer the question: "If you write, only no one reads it, are you a writer?" She thinks not. She really doesn't want to give up, but perhaps she should.


Baggy just hates to give up on anything. But worry not bloggees, even if she isn't yet a "proper" writer, she is a very happy blogger. She appreciates your support lots and is excited to welcome new bloggees each week from different parts of the world........
