Three years ago I bought a book in Tampa which is meant to be a great for creative like minds and for the past three years I have made it my New Years Resolution to complete it. The book is called 642 Things To Write About by The San Francisco Writers Grotto. I never got round to writing many of them so what’s a better way then getting through them then writing a few as an article each week! Enjoy.
464. Jame Joyce said that a man’s errors are his portals of discovery. What mistakes have led to epiphanies for you?

466. A translator doesn’t want to translate what she’s just been told.
I don’t want to translate – Thats all I do, I am not respected for who I am all i do is speak other peoples words. I like working for her highness but it would be nice to be appreciated at times. I am a person, I have needs, I never get thanked. So I am going on strike.
