I have a cup of tea for breakfast, 2 oatcakes and a cup of bouillon for lunch, then a low cal meal in the evening, such as lentils and brown rice with broccoli - but you can have anything that fits in the 500 cal limit. I think I feel perkiest and most creative the morning after a fasting day. I have to admit my concentration can fade a bit late on a fasting day, before I get my lentils!<br />Creaky door writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400268332581266488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804843777020491995.post-69611097419132936842013-05-02T02:55:01.870-07:002013-05-02T02:55:01.870-07:00Thanks for a great list, and a very readable post ...Thanks for a great list, and a very readable post :) Fasting is an interesting one.

Listening to them talking about their stories makes me want to go back and read Grimm's fairy stories, or Greek myths, or Norse Legends or Russian folk tales and then write something of my own. I never get further than the going back and reading bit but I do regularly have moments of inspiration when I see or think of something that I think would make an interesting premise for, or a good scene in, a book.Rachel Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773651457721195072noreply@blogger.com
