It all sounds fascinating.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, can empathise with the home thing... you set me off Thinking Things now.

I've left Tangled Roots in Bangkok, but I'll get on with it before long.<BR/><BR/>Pacha, thanks honey. I may try and write about my 'home' thing...<BR/><BR/>Oooh, Lane, appointment to see the Vicar on Friday!<BR/><BR/>Debs, thanks m'dear. I'm looking forward to getting on and writing it too.<BR/><BR/>LPlate, well we've got to find out somehow, haven't we? It's probably better than stopping someone in the street!<BR/><BR/>Angie, I knew there would be people who understood what I meant... thanks.<BR/><BR/>Carol, oh I'm sorry to hear about your mum and gran. It's my mum that's the worry here... see you soon.<BR/><BR/>Caroline, thank you.

I talk about going home to see family but feel like Bangkok is home now...it's all very odd!!!

The idea fascinates me because I lived the first 18 years in the same town (where few leave), but have been moving ever since. <BR/>Like Pacha, I'm editing and it's so confusing to see what's new and what's not, so I've been a naughty 100-worder as well.<BR/>I'm even more intrigued by your story now!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-35774019270490011442008-08-06T01:04:00.000+07:002008-08-06T01:04:00.000+07:00Hey JJ.

Well, I waited outside for one of the bobbies to finish his meeting with the manager and then collared him about how long a sentence one of my characters could get for petty theft. I needed him to go down for no longer than six months so wanted a crime to fit the sentence and then know how many times he would have been 'let off' before he was sent to prison. I bet he thought I was mad when I said those words, I'm writing a book!<BR/><BR/>The things we do for our craft...xxMarcie Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921930565391929367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-26628529308057355352008-08-06T00:30:00.000+07:002008-08-06T00:30:00.000+07:00You're being very good doing research on your holi...You're being very good doing research on your holiday, that counts as writing too. <BR/><BR/>I've not been good at all and have no excuse at all.Deborah Carr (Debs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-12018395341045254312008-08-05T23:28:00.000+07:002008-08-05T23:28:00.000+07:00Impressed with your research!Prison, vicars, Bang...Impressed with your research!<BR/><BR/>Prison, vicars, Bangkok, books!

I can't wait for you to finish it and publish it!<BR/><BR/>I too have been naughty about 100 words. It's not that I'm not writing but when editing I no longer know what I'm writing/cropping etc. In short, a mess!<BR/><BR/>If you find a way to voice your thoughts about 'home' I would be interested to know them. Home has always been a very confused 'thing' for me.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the rest of your hols!Pachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528082724529049971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-76858336494608014972008-08-05T19:42:00.000+07:002008-08-05T19:42:00.000+07:00JJ: This notion of "home" is indeed a tricky one,...JJ: This notion of "home" is indeed a tricky one, especially for people like us who have chosen to try to set down roots in places other than where we've been brought up. It's very much something I tried to write about in Tangled Roots, and to whatever extent I was successful, I can tell you it came out in the writing, without forethought or any clear understanding of it before I wrote. I bet it will be the same with you. But it's also a theme I'm returning to in my new book and, I bet, will be one of those "life themes" for me, and maybe you.Sue Guineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556228394020314560noreply@blogger.com
