Who’s for a proposal to amend a popular saying? Time flies when you are having fun. I actually find that time flies, no matter what. You could be slamming a cocktail in Honolulu or contemplating the perfect crescent toenail clipping, the effect- for me- is pretty much the same. In fact, I don’t think I’ve lifted my head in a month. Some of it, of course, has been fun. Holiday (apart from the Asian hurricane that went off with an awning pole), a weekend in Killin, spying stags on the high tops the other side of Dalnaspidal but some of it has also been pretty turgid and time, the old devil, flew away nonetheless. So, I propose a change to: Time Flies When You’re Having Just About Anything. It’s less catchy, definitely not as quotable and I am sure there will be exceptions (interested to hear any, in fact).
Part of the anything I’ve just about been having has involved getting on with book 3. Like all creative processes, there are times when you want to sink your head in a rabbit hole. Still, progress- however fickle and at times, bad tempered- has been made. Oh and I will be doing a speaky thingummy as well as a nice lady sent me a poster this week. I like posters. At least, I did.....
