I'm nervous but looking forward to it. (For non-Australians, this small town writing festival is one of the bigger ones in Australia). Should be a lot of fun. We're kicking it off on the main stage. #permaculture #writing

Instructions for Having a Soul: Take it out in the rain sometimes. It has vast, invisible wings that gather dirt and need rinsing. When it tries to kill you that is because you've forgotten to let it look into someone's eyes for longer than a minute. It needs that the way a bee needs nectar in the early morning dew. Every so often, take it on a journey. Let it read long, hard books and let it stare into the depths of the sea. Yes, you can give it chips and whiskey but from time to time let it k…

Poor example to introduce the `disabled` HTML attribute:
Lesson: Don't use the same/similar name as the concept being introduced.
```html
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="ch-box" value="disabled" disabled />
disabled
</label>
