Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
(suser:wordsmitty} There's nothing rigid about giving days amended names. Anyone can do it. And, if you want two snack days back to back, who am I to deny you?
As for the months, I was dreading that suggestion coming up. Let me think about it for a while...

The key to satire is not how skillfully it is written, but how accessible it is to the audience. Well, that might depend on how well it is written. I tend to satirize obscure things that only matter to me. Nevermind.
I will wait for Sunday to comment.
I know this is a bit late but I was busy yesterday. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Anyway, Saturday looked like a difficult one until I realised how close it came to satire. So that's what it should be. Kinda fitting for a writing site, ain't it?
Has nothing to do with satyrs, by the way. I checked and satire is from Latin, satyr from Greek.
