To prove to edoraslass that I really have been working...

I've been on this since last April. Unfortunately it's turned out rather more epic than I first realised. (I thought the dead body would help- it was always going to happen, honest. It didn't.) But I am still in a state of writing it- but it's so tangled I'm not going to risk posting until I've had ( Read more... )

Well, after 29 days of NaNoFauxMo, I have very slightly over 25035 words out of the aimed-for 50,000.

Now, I don't consider this a total failure. Some of this was my... I would say fault, but I'm not beating myself up about it; part of it isn't, not because things happened to interrupt it but because I hadn't laid the ground for it to make it clear ( Read more... )

Seeing as this seems to be a magical meme that actually works:

I put myself at your command. What, were I in your power, would you have ( Read more... )

I have internet on my computer, instead of having to borrow! This comes courtesy- don't ask me how- of a device that plugs into the electrical mains (WiFi has been a bit of a failure in this house).

This week, I have been having to put 3 drops of otospotin in my ears, 4 times a day. I really don't like constantly having fluid in my ears- sometimes I ( Read more... )

Well, I don't know if it's the right time for me to be listening to An Inspector Calls- a play about the fate of a girl who gets sacked from two jobs, becomes a 'girl of the town', ends up broken-hearted, pregnant and destitute, and after being refused help from a charity for being in the wrong sort of distress commits suicide by drinking ( Read more... )

It would be, but the first time I attempted it, the post was too big. Boo!

This is (possibly) the interesting one though (sez Soubie) because this is the bit where all the problems came back and bit me.
