Long Time No Talk

I feel like I’ve not really been here. I’ve dropped by and said hi, assigned some excuse to my absence – usually something to do with NaNoWriMo.

But I did it, I achieved NaNoWriMo. Part 1 of the book is with two friends at the moment (Becca and Maria).

Maria was first to comment about it and about reading it, hence why I sent it to her – something in me was too embarrassed to show it to people I know IRL kinda. I then sent it to Becca as well because I know she’ll give me constructive criticisms about how bits don’t work and things like that. I know for sure that in places I’ve repeated myself. EIther because I thought I’d missed something or because I was trying to move the story forward and it wasn’t really working. Going back to edit my writing wasn’t always an option as I was trying to hit the word count.

NaBloPoMo this year completely hit the fan – plain and simple. I was trying to write 2k a day where possible and adding into the non-computer things like Christmas, visiting family and two crazy days in London, it soon adds up that November vanished before my eyes. (You can read about the trip to London here – there’s four parts: one, two, three and four).

So now we’re in December and minus the snow which seems to have once again driven the country to a halt (if that’s possible). I was outside earlier walking back from the warehouse and my cheekbones were hurting it was that cold. Then again yesterday evening I was in pain because my feet were cold.
