Cutting room

 

 

     It may not always look like it but a degree of editing does go on here at Cornflower.  Sometimes a planned post doesn't materialise due to external factors, or my day is so fragmented I don't have time to write what I'd intended; at other times I'll scrap a piece because I think it may not be interesting/good/professional enough to appear. Today has been a mixture of all the above. You might have had a report on a writer whose book festival event made me think I wouldn't want to read their work (very unusual that, and I'm naming no names...), or some photographs which were refusing to be arranged as I want them and whose theme wasn't working, or me in perplexed/prejudiced mode asking volubly and at some length: Why do men carry rucksacks? And another thing - why do many cyclists ignore traffic lights? They shouldn't!
    From big questions of our day and age back to editing. What will not go on the cutting room floor (I hope) is a post about Ghosting, and a report on an excellent festival evening which would make me rush to buy the works of the authors who were speaking (more on that tomorrow if at all possible), but for now - and on the subject of versions of things  - but mainly because I like it, how about this (and its second part).

Oh, I wish you had talked about men and rucksacks. (that's back packs in the US, right?) Cause that is not something that bothers me but I always love reading about the things that drive other people nuts. :)
