Click a random poll?

I wonder if anyone reading this would do me a wee favour - could you click a response into my poll below? It can be totally at random, anything will help! I've decided that I really really really have to stop whinging about not finding time to write, and just find time to write! Of course I miss it most when I genuinely have too much work on to think much about it, but maybe that's a good thing - since I'm deadline-girl - and I can twist it to my advantage. Plus I need to celebrate midsummer with something, and what better than a goal/plan/quest to see me through the shortening days? *g* Trouble is, I have so many ideas swimming around right now, the strongest of which I know isn't actually quite ready to begin,
and I can't seem to pick a focus for a sort of experimental just-do-it story. So would you do it for me? *g*
[Poll #1972428] I will 'fess up too - it's not going to be a Pros story (though if I get writing in the first place, I might manage to do a bit extra for our lads along the same lines)... I am feeling quite historical at the moment though (and slightly hysterical, but that's more about dealing with Job 2, Job 3, and a new Job 4 next week...), so I've at least narrowed it down to choosing between periods!

In hope - thank you!

Oops, I voted before looking properly at your last para, dammit! Wot, no lads?!?!?! :-(((((( (hmm, I do seem to have fairly, um, focused reading preferences *g*). But even so, I'm very happy to vote for More bsl Writing!!!!

I'd be torn between voting for Georgian, Victorian and WWII. I'd very much enjoy reading any of those three, and - of course - I'd be soooo happy if you felt moved to doing a bit more with the lads as well (especially in WWII, but in either of the others too ... *g*).

The only ones I'd be less inclined to nudge for are Celtic and Anglo Saxon - so consider this a vote for ... Reverse Chronological Order! *g*

Hee - I wonder if other people did that? That said, as soon as I'd done the poll and was thinking about it, I realised that the WWII story I'd had in my head was the lads one from way back, and thought oh bum..., because I really do want to try branching out... And hee - tell me after you've read any whether you still want Bsl non-Pros writing, cos who knows if I can do it really...? (It's not that I never want to write any more lads, I do, but... I want to see if I can do anything else, or if this pony only has the one trick...)

Heee for reverse chronological order, too!

Writey writey write!!! (Er that's not an order by the way, it's supposed to be a cheerful exhortation...)

I'm not sure it would be a bad thing if it was an order rather than an exhortation.... *g* Write!

I do the same thing so I'm happy to push you into writing *g*

Well now that sounds as if I should be pushing you too... *vbg*
