If there is someone on your friends list you would like to take, sit down, offer a biscuit or some cake, prepare some tea for, then have tea and conversation with until the teapot is empty, then wait until you've brewed another pot and do it all over again, then repost this sentence in your journal.

I spent this morning hunting for plot holes in last year's Nanowrimo entry, and then some time trying to figure out whether I'd managed to get all the dates right that I'd mentioned in it. I'm surprised it's actually coherent, to be honest, given that I wrote 30,000 words in a month ( Read more... )
