What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

When I was five I went on my tricycle to the sweet shop and when I came back home I told my cousin some boys had attacked me. I couldn't remember what exactly had happened, because I was so upset. But I knew one of the older boys, probably he was seven, who had done it and my cousin, brother and I left him a note warning him that the Black Hand Gang were out to get him unless he put a pound under a brick in a particular place, for us to pick up at a particular time. Naturally when we went to pick up the money, his parents were waiting for us and we were in real trouble. Subsequently I recalled that they had merely blocked my way, which in itself had been pretty mean, for a group of them to do that to a tiny child. Be interesting as a plot to chart the effect of this on all involved through their lifetimes. I never regretted our note, incidentally. (less)

So many types of love

Why aren't there more words in the English language for love? Our language is so flexible, so various, with so very many words yet when it comes to the biggest subject of all there's just essentially just this one word. It causes such trouble. A woman says she 'loves' a man, and assumes she will therefore be happy with him. No. There are so many different variations of love. Lives can be ruined by Read more of this blog post »
