Not thinking of writing a novel in November
Well, I didn't sign up to NaNoWriMo, where you undertake to write 50,000 words in a month. Partly, it's just not my way of doing things. I have recently completed a novel manuscript, which took longer than a month. But then again I also wrote a lot of other stuff while I was doing it. As previously mentioned, you can get a lot done while writing slowly.
Thinking of writing a novel
Manton mentioned NaNoWriMo and that has got me thinking.

When I publish a post with no title, where does it go and who gets to see it?
Thanks to Tom Critchlow, I now know a simple JS trick for including the micro.blog feed into a website:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://micro.blog/sidebar.js?username=tomcritchlow"></script>I had forgotten that posts to my wordpress site only show up on micro.blog if there’s no title.
Let’s see whether this post, written on my new iPad, makes an appearance…
Finally the iPad
Having finally got hold of an iPad, I’m expecting more posts here soon - and by extension on micro.blog
zines
I'm imagining writing a handful of 'zines and setting up stall at one of those 'zine fairs. I would like that. I just looked it up and found a pop-up 'zine fair just down the road this Sunday. I will go to seek inspiration.

Great bike ride down the river and along the bay this morning. Cold to start but warmed up nicely. Flat rear tyre though - twice... argh! I'm getting new tyres, finally. Should be good by Wednesday.
You have been warned
It starts innocently enough, then they take over the world. You have been warned.
A big win for civilization in England?
A judge has ruled that a local council in England needs to consider its statutory duties before closing down libraries due to funding cuts.

Just by posting on my site, the post is automatically mirrored to micro.blog
I’m thinking of adding a connection between this site and Manton Reece’s micro.blog It’s a bit like Twitter but there’s more control of your site’s own contents. And it’s possible to syndicate everything to Twitter anyway.
