I have fallen off the Nano train...
but I plan to get on again at some point. It turns out the story I started writing was actually the second story in a series, instead of the first, which I originally thought. Also, medical stuff including a hospital staff which require more research than I'm comfortable with during Nano. (Yes, I'm a librarian and can do my own damn research, but ( Read more... ) -
Writing
Really considering Nanowrimo again this year. I've won once, but been unsuccessful all the other years I've tried. However, thus far, unlike the previous years, my calendar for November is blissfully empty at the moment.

Well hello again... I've been really bad at posting. Since the last time... I've basically travelled a lot, and tomorrow I'm off again. Today was a doctor's visit that led to interesting discoveries...

What a start to the week of flying
... my flight home tonight was supposed to be a direct flight. However, due to a flight having an emergency landing on an airport along the coast - the plane going to that airport was diverted to the airport I was flying out from.

About two weeks ago...
I did a face-plant on the asphalt from my bike.
