Writing for the Perfect Hazelnut Yoghurt

When I write I tend to do a rough, spelling mistakes and total junk and all, then come back later to polish. Just occasionally there’s something in the original, lost later on, that makes it worth saving for later. Maybe a witty comment that didn’t quite fit in the final version, which I hope to use one day elsewhere. Something like that…

Further down this blog you’ll find a review I just posted on Qype. I was thinking of posting it anyway, even before things got strange. I’m pretty busy at the moment. A few nights ago I was feeling very tired, but decided to do just a bit of writing before I headed off to bed. So I started writing about hazelnut yoghurts. As I typed my eyes closed, and I guess my mind wandered, maybe I even fell asleep and dreamed a little? Then I jerked awake, opened my eyes, read what I’d written and decided I really had to go to bed, right that minute… Here’s what I wrote:

I remember the hazelnut yogurts you usee to get. Cheap, plain
yogurts. Each with a sprinkling of the real nuts. I was told to be
strict with the dog. Who comes out and socializes on a regular bowl.

I can’t help noticing my spelling improved while I was typing nonsense.
