So, BBers - it's check-in time, once again!

A hearty welcome to the artists / vidders who have signed up so far! If that sentence leaves you wondering, "have I been sheltering-in-place too long? I don't know what she's talking about," then check out the artists / vidders sign-up post; it'll give the official bits on how to do what you might for the lads art-wise. If you yearn to capture the broad expanse of Bodie's chest, or the cheeky curve of Doyle's - well, cheek (your choice which one), then here's your opportunity and a willing audience.

And if you have any questions, come find your friendly neighborhood modsTM. That's what we're here for!

More in general, to writers and artists/vidders alike: how is it going? Are the Bisto Kids seeing eye-to-eye yet? Or is Cowley about to suspend them both so he can pull an Operation Susie on them? (Or is the blank screen of your computer, and the seven earlier tries, mocking you? I raise my hand here.) Come share, and tank up on petrol in the Capri so you can take it out for a(nother) spin.

:-)

I've got to get this out of my head and into words/sentences/paragraphs. I've abandoned the laptop this week and moved to notebook and pen, and I've actually accomplished a bit. Not enough yet, though.

Perhaps if I concentrate on writing the principal events over the next couple of weeks, I might have a bit more success at both getting my story solidly in hand (er, that's a nice visual... *big grin*) and also boosting up my word count, which is in need of a good deal of help.

Notebook and pen are invaluable - and there's software that lets you scan it in and convert it to typed text (might need two different apps). Lots of it is free.

Before I went with 'swiss cheese' I did think about trying one of those voice-to-text apps (or as we used to call it back in the day: 'dictation'). That would work with reading handwritten manuscripts too.

I hope writing the principle events works as well for you as it did for me 😊
