lure of the tropix
I’m not normally in the habit of blogging unflattering photos of myself in my underwear, but I thought this one was appropriate as we are off to Fiji tomorrow to visit
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
and her family. This snap was taken ten or so years ago, either on Matamanoa island or somewhere up the Whitsundays. I like it cos it has a certain touch of the vibe of those nude writer pix from the 60s that
was blogging awhile back.
Wherever I was, it was tropical and I was working on the first novel I ever managed to finish all the way to the end. Unfortunately, the damn thing totally sucked. If someone had told me then that it would be over ten years till I managed to complete another one I probably would have cried.
