You know I'm oh so glad I don't live in Russia

But for how long, if you see what I mean?

There are advantages if you're an unbelievably wealthy Russian like Roman Abramovich - eg you could come to the UK and pay far lower taxes than any British subject (thanks to our idiotic laws).

Quite a simple explanation really
'I can't speak Russian'
LOL :-))))))) Gets em everytime that one

As you can see stuck for what to write again and getting quite fed up with being stuck. I know what i want to write but everytijme I pick my pen up it disappears. any suggestions - apart from voice recorder - tried that as well, just as bad with that

Niet ponimia (not sure of spelling). My father was on the convoy ships going to Archangel during the War. Das verdanya (sp?).

I sincerely question how Abramovich came about such vast wealth in such a place as Russia? Leaves an awful lot to speculation I think.
Now that's me targeted by the JCB

IT, why don't you just dot down random words that come to you, and associated ideas. No pressure that way, and you never know what you might come up with.

hi Carol
Tried it. but thanks anyway

Carol

IT, if that doesn't work, then you must take a break, stop trying. Do other fun relaxing things for a few days.

Im Trying

your probably right Carol. trying to hard, literally forcing myself really, not good at all.

Had a browse in Waterstone's this morning and picked up a book on creative writing.  Apparently one writer - can't remember which one - uses a special 'pointing' pencil and picks out three random words from a newspaper and then writes a story around them.  It worked for her.  And no, I didn't buy the book!  Might try this myself.  I agree with Carol, though, chill out for a while and I'm sure the ideas will come.
