Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

Just as an experiment...






And so's yall know that we Torontonians do get snow (though thankfully much less than most parts of Ontario), I've posted three images I took from our bedroom window.

You see, there's some kind of slow-moving (hence more snow), fancy-pants storm moving in. We're told it should start hitting us at some point this afternoon, and will be in full force tonight.

Overnight, we're expected to get somewhere in the vicinity of 30 cm (12 inches for you imperial measurement kids). It's supposed to be the biggest storm to hit in something like 20 or 30 years.

Bigger even, than the storm from five or six years ago where the city's mayor called the military to come help us dig out. Quite a joke to the rest of Canada (who never realize that due to the size of this bloody city, and the narrow tiny roads from bygone eras, there's nowhere to put the snow).

So I've posted some images pre-snow. If it's a big giant dump, you will get a lovely idea of how even Toronto sucks during the winter.

OK, enough stalling. Back to work with me.

We don't get snow here in Adelaide, so I'm fascinated.

I love the way that snow falls in neat little rectangles about the size of a front yard.

That's cool!

Yes, snow does tend to be very courteous that way.

It's far more pleasing to eye, no?

No snow in Adelaide? Hmm. I'm sure Canada could spare some.
