My typing seems to vary its speed according to which part of the piece is playing! It speeds up when the xylophones are evoking the skeletons' bones rattling away!<br />I wish I knew which genre is mine, but I think the best word for the writing I'm doing now that I have stopped the women's magazine stories is shadowy. Not exactly dark or chilling. But definitely in the shadows. x Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041114671058714018.post-92071560494825327462013-06-14T01:24:09.590+01:002013-06-14T01:24:09.590+01:00I love the word macabre!
