On failing before I even begin 😂
Oh! Hello November, you’re already here? Im’ afraid I’m still not ready for you.. Have a seat, I’ll make some tea and you can drink it while I finish getting ready for you. Ok?
writing / blogging
On being surprisingly inspirational
Owen, from no talent for certainty wrote about me having a bath! 😉
On winning
I passed – wheeeee!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 I don’t know how well I won, but I think it’s the winning part that counts. Now to catch up on lost sleep 🙂 (And later, on lost (/missing) posts)
On missing my Ks
I use various instant messaging apps on my phone. Just now, I opened one, and all the Ks were missing, from all the words. ​ Just imagine a world with no Ks. Edit: my brother says that it was very k-less of me to lose them…
On green cards, chocolate and a small flashing light
That very short list just about covers the things I’m living for at the moment.
On rainbows and double ended candle burning
I’m trying to finish my ‘book’* before Saturday evening. Or at the very very latest by Sunday morning. That would mean I can send it off to be printed before I go on holiday. ‘Holiday’ is used in the loosest form here – it’s more a chance to revise ALL the things than a chance […]
On not talking about Christmas
It’s the 25th of November. That makes it exactly a month until Christmas. I am ignoring that, and all other Christmas related things. Between now and then, I have: 4 exams to revise for a book to finish compiling and find pictures for and format and send off in time for printing 3 aquariums to […]
On forgetting my own BlogDay :(
I didn’t write anything yesterday. I went to bed at 7:30 with a headache instead. Yesterday was the 23rd of November 2016. I started writing here on 23rd of November 2012. That means the blog turned 4, and I didn’t even acknowledge it :(. Luckily Claudette came to the rescue and congratulated it for me.. […]
On writing it out
– or “don’t write back in anger” (Written yesterday; I fell asleep in the middle if the last sentence..) Yesterday (Monday) I was mad at a situation involving several people and several opinions. Today (Tuesday), I wrote them all an email. It took me a good part of the morning to get it into something […]
Advanced warning
Baby-Essay is finished and handed in. Presentation has been presented. I now have excess writing capacity and two months of repressed ideas – you have been warned  🙂
On writing my fingers to the boneskin
I have “Daumenknochenhautentzündung”. “Thumb bone skin inflammation” sounds pretty impressive, but German is a whole lot cooler :). I think the Latin is periostitis but I may well be wrong. I didn’t know that was even a thing until yesterday, I just knew my thumb hurt. Apparently, all bones are covered with a very thin, […]
On who I am and where I’m going.
I am Jesskawrites…..
…….and this is my blog about not throwing stones (and occasionally about glass or snow or any number of unrelated other things).

If writers stopped writing about what happened to them, then there would be a lot of empty pages. – Elaine Liner
Quote: dreams
“Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you” – Marsha Norman (If this is true, mine’s going to be a very odd book..)
On walking in the snow
If it’s snowing when you want to go home, remember to put your ‘real’ shoes back on before leaving the dance hall. Especially if your dancing shoes have (on-purpose) holes in them. Even more especially if you’re wearing floor-length trousers.
