I\u2019ve thought about continuing to write my Woodland Stories on my own, but it\u2019s no good. I\u2019m a dog. What do I know about writing a children\u2019s book. I think it\u2019s just a confidence thing. I really need to go on a conference to \u2018find my focus\u2019 and come back with some determination, but it\u2019s \u201cOh no Alfie, you can\u2019t go, you\u2019re a dog.\u201d Prejudice! It\u2019s everywhere, even in my own home. Shadow got taken out yesterday, but it was \u201cOh no Alfie, you don\u2019t need to go, it\u2019s just that Shadow needs weighing.\u201d And so I was left behind. To be fair, I don\u2019t need weighing. I know I\u2019m big boned without the scales at the vet confirming it. Shadow on the other paw, now weighs half as much as I do and she\u2019s still growing. She\u2019s not going to be a size zero type of dog either!<\/p>\n
My Mistress wants to have a moan about computer printers too. Firstly there is the fact that it is coincidental with the installation of the new printer that her computer has stopped working again and secondly this new printer seems to use ink as though it is going out of fashion. It\u2019s all very well until you work out just how much to costs to print a single page from the printer and then it\u2019s no joke. There has to be a better way of doing this than using poky little cartridges that run out every five minutes. It\u2019s either find a better way of arranging printing or find a new occupation that pays enough to cover the printing. There are down sides to being a writer! And don\u2019t even get me started on the fact that however hard you try on a piece of work, someone can see something you should have done better.<\/p>\n
