New Writing Community

OK.

As per my post about three weeks to a fortnight back, I have now created a new community just_writing which I hope people will join separately to their individual LJ accounts and submit written pieces with a view to receiving thoughtful and constructive criticisms.

I realise the name is naff, but my original pun of "just write" was already taken and at that point inspiration left me. At the moment, it is open and unmoderated with just a couple of rules of behaviour noted.

I don't want to get all heavy (Oooerr) over it and would like to maintain it with as little input as possible from me (other than posts for criticism, obviously!). But I will review the settings if I need to.

I will set it as a moderated community only if absolutely necessary.

Now, because I am incapable of following basic instructions, I am going to bed. It is daylight outside and I've spent far too long trying to set the community up successfully.

Too cool to bake, too hot to shake

Gad.

It's just too damned hot today. I've looked in the atlas and the UK is supposed to be in the 'temperate zone' not the bleeding tropics.

Of course, being stuck in a city like London during this weather is proof that Hell is in fact on earth. I need to live somewhere rural, somewhere within a couple of hours drive of the sea. And by sea, I mean something that doesn't look like an open cess pool, unlike the Thames at low tide.

It's cooler now, but the days I enjoy this sort of weather are too phew for me to look forward to them. Bring on the Ice Age. Still, another week and it's mid Summer day. The nights will start drawing in after that. All I need to do is survive July and August.

And what did I do with the cooler temperatures of early evening?

I ironed a shirt for the morrow.

Bloody marvellous.
