I think I can incorporate this into my story somehow. I have begun reading back over it, to get my head around the story again. And do you know, it isn't half bad. For those of you who don't know, I had a mad writing fortnight about 18 months ago, following the principle of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and the book that accompanies it "No Plot, No Problem" except that I didn't do it online through NaNoWriMo because I did it in February!! I managed to write 25,000 words of a children's novel in that time, then got writer's block, and made the fatal mistake of stopping. I haven't written another word of it since. The two people I have allowed to read it have said it is really good and that i should finish it. Last week in the Saturday Times, there was a competition to submit a children's novel by a first time writer, with a chance to be published by Chicken House. The deadline is November. Hmmmm, could I finish by then????

Well, you must DECIDE to finish, I reckon. Get on with it chook ;)
Love the tree, I have a thing about trees. I saw them on Kew on the telly saying that they could live perfectly well with holes, isn't it amazing?
Hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained (sorry! - copyright cliches'R'us).
Good luck!
Oh, do it, you must! I know it wil be wonderful. :) And November is a great month. The tree is incredible--what great photos. I love the curves of large and old trees.
Plants are more adaptible than animals (hark at the botanist lol). Good luck with finishing the novel!
