Starting
Sometimes you just have to start writing.
I’ve barely written for over a week now. My blog(s) lie fallow, writing project are stalled - and I’m frustrated. Sure, I’ve had a serious amount of admin and organising to do - and plenty of student contact time. I could say that I have writers' block - but that would be a lie. I don’t really believe in writers' block as an idea. It’s just procrastination or distraction wearing fancy suit and showing off its delusions of grandeur. I just haven’t been writing.
But I need to write. I need to blog. So, this morning, I’ve set aside the whole morning to just do writing tasks. Admin can wait until later. For now, I need to just start writing things.
And this is a start.
Into the Auto-Awesome Woods

I’m not long back from a week’s extended family holiday in France, at a lovely chateau available at very reasonable rates*.
Poking around in Google+ on my return, I found it’s done some interesting things with some of my photos from the trip. Google+ Photos adds “Auto-Awesome” effects to photos uploaded there, and your phone can be set to automatically upload images. The results can be unexpected, to say the very least, but this once, they’re beautifully atmospheric…
