Finding Inspiration
Introduction I don't know if I am different from other creators, or it's just that I tend to think in tangents and make connections that people often see as ludicrous, but this may give you some ideas for your articles and stories.

Minute Waltz
The piece is given the tempo marking Molto vivace. Although it has long been known as the "Minute" Waltz, its nickname was intended to mean "small" in the sense of a "miniature" waltz, given by its publisher. Chopin did not intend for this waltz to be played in one minute. A typical performance of the work will last between 1+1⁄2 and 2+1⁄2 minutes

Introduction I am trying to stop myself doing these Eclipse poems but I can resist anything but temptation, and this shows how weak-willed I am. To make it a little more interesting I am going to describe an eclipse using the Acrostic and Fibonacci (Fib) poetic forms combined.

Fruit Based Smoothies And Kiwi Fruit
Introduction Many years ago, because I am diabetic, a nurse told me I should not eat any fruit because it contains fructose and my diet should essentially consist of celery, carrots and turnips. When I mentioned this to the consultant they laughed and said we need some pleasure in life and that should include food, just eat them in moderation.

Music From The Other Room
Introduction I have said that if you decide to move your vinyl, CDs, DVDs or VHS Tapes to the loft, you may as well give them to a charity shop because you are never going to go up there to retrieve something, and that can be said of a lot of things that you put in the loft.

Ask Me In December
Introduction This is for Babs Iverson's "Ask Me In December" challenge which you can read about here When we talked about it, I said the flow and sound of the words reminded me of "Gone Till November" by Wyclef Jean which I will use to soundtrack this. It is a wonderful song.

Fairly Liquid
On The Road Crossing the road they saw a white Toyota bearing down on them looking like a Star Wars Stormtrooper's helmet on wheels, so they moved a little more quickly to get on to the far pavement. As they hit the pavement they felt they had stepped into something that some animal had deposited.
