I was to write a novel

I was to write a novel. I have got lots of material for several novels now.
Although I think I should start with writing just short stories. I have been collecting the material for all my life. Part of it is in my memory, other part at my computers. I can take them when I want and can write. Now, in what language? If I write them in Polish, they will be well written. If I write them in English – they will not be that perfect, but while writing them I will learn more English vocabulary and expressions, I will improve my language skills, besides more people will be able to read them. 


First I need some writing workshops. I think the best workshop is reading other people’s novels and learning how they are build. Then, I may use them as a kind of pattern. I also may use their extended vocabulary and new to me phrases. 

What do I do?

"What do I do?" - asked familiar voice. It was my voice :))) Yeah.... I don't know! I don't know yet, but surely soon I will find out the right path :)

Tomato sauces

I have made 3 vegetarian tomato sauces and put them into jars, milked 2 goats, so I have milk for pudding and pancakes. Now I am just about to make lecho and maybe cucumber salad. Maybe I also put the cucumbers into jars? I have enough cucumbers to make some winter supplies. 

In the morning I had muesli with goat milk and a sliced banana. It was delicious.
I studied the package description so now I know how to make delicious muesli from my own ingredients. I need only buy oats somewhere and collect fruits and dry them or freeze them. I haven’t seen oats in Biedronka for a long time, but maybe in Lewiatan? I need to check. I love the oat flavour. 

It was raining all day, but now is sunny again. I think about going to the garden for a while.

I got to the half of the novel “The colonists”. This American family has real problems. They have to tackle with serial serious threats and evil. Me too. So I understand them very well and feel a kind of empathy. I am in the same situation like they are. Reading their story encourages me. There are others who have to fight for survival. Like me.


I spent some time in the veggetable garden. I replanted some pumpking seedlings from pots into soil. They are big. But those which I planted 3 weeks ago, are much bigger now. I hope they all will have enough time to produce big pumpkins before autumn.


At supper I prepared just muesli with fresh peaches and goat milk. It was good. I think I became muesli fun :)
