This is good - all my bad habits laid out for me :) I'm especially bad about censoring myself.

When is Beltane? Calculating the Date for your Beltane Handfasting
Nice one! I was going to do a comparative religion one for Beltane/May Day, but ran out of time.
Reading on the bus sounds good. :)

When is Beltane? Calculating the Date for your Beltane Handfasting
I'll let you know how it pans out. I'm hoping they'll have handouts, but that's because I like reading something I can refer back to. My logical-Spock writer's brain can then play around with comparisons and contrasts to its bear-of-little ...

When is Beltane? Calculating the Date for your Beltane Handfasting
Oooh! That project sounds amazing! I would love to join in with something like that too.
That's another reason why I love Wizzley, because there are people of different faiths (or non-faith too), who are genuinely informative. (Have you read ...

Beltane: Traditional Time for a Pagan Handfasting
Awww! Thank you. :) I've been a High Priestess for a very long time, and fortunate to have chatted with some great people too. Plus I tore my religion to shreds for my MA, then put it back together again afterwards. Sometimes you have to do ...

Beltane: Traditional Time for a Pagan Handfasting
This article could have been written only by one who genuinely believes in what she is saying. The reason that I say this is that it is so full of genuine enthusiasm for the belief system that it proclaims. Truthfulness/honesty has a certain ...

Express Yourself: Fun Luggage Tags for All Styles of Travelers
Going to have to look for one of those to go with my rainbow luggage strap. My new case has not left the conservatory yet, but when it does you better believe it will do so with a funky tag on. I fancy the novelist's threat of writing their ...

When is Beltane? Calculating the Date for your Beltane Handfasting
The fashion these days seems to be for scientists to keep quiet on their beliefs. They may well have a major faith but choose not to share it. I think the media may have some part in that.
Patient-facing medical staff, of course, are usually ...

That's a good point, WordChazer, that ideas bounce off each other. I often wind up writing or making notes for spinoffs, whether it's articles or stories.

Beltane: Traditional Time for a Pagan Handfasting
No, Beltane is at this time, with Samhain in the autumn, but right at the end of it. I really enjoyed Rosemary Sutcliffe's books.

10 Ways to Keep Creative Writing Ideas Flowing
I usually have at least four ideas on the go plus whatever report writing work throws at me. I write in several different places and so these ideas tend to bounce off each other, informing each other sometimes. Presently I'm working on an ...

Beltane: Traditional Time for a Pagan Handfasting
I remember Rosemary Sutcliffe's books, where her characters jumped through the Beltane fires. At least I think it was the Beltane fires and not the Samhain ones. For some reason I always had Beltane at Autumn Equinox though it makes more sense ...

When is Beltane? Calculating the Date for your Beltane Handfasting
I have yet to find a research scientist or science lecturer who has any major religious belief. Their research tends to lead them to atheism in this neck of the woods. (And I speak as a Christian in Cambridge, so no shortage of serious academic ...

Thanks, Ologsinquito. Glad you enjoyed it.
CS, I like to do that too, when possible. Often, when I'm struggling with something, a short spell working on something else will help cough out whatever bug was troubling the first piece. But, as you ...
