750 words poetry

Is it me or is this one of those crazy online moments that appear spontaneously, full of meaning and intent where none was intended. These were my most frequently used words in my writing tonight on 750 words:

again
bit blogs 
feel first get here
just keep like looking
me 
my nearly nice night
nose not now 
still tired tonight up


Not so sure of the meaning or intent (that sounded like a good way to describe a random collection of words drawn from my prose) - not sure what 'my nearly nice night nose not now' is but it is pleasingly alliterative!
As it's now a quarter past midnight, the last bit is spot on - 'still tired tonight up'

Hmm, will keep checking this little phenomenon over the next wee while!!

Ways with writing

Just found a small glittering seam of writing about writing ... about using your time better, about being creative generally ... yes, I know, I can make much from the sage advice offered up here ..
