I'm not really here, honest. Just dropping 3 quick things then running off to have a real life while the sun is shining.

#1. We're going to Morocco! We've booked our flights to Marrakech *happy dance* Anyone who wants to recommend things to do is more than welcome to! Can't wait :D

#2. The artword Round Robin stories are going up over the next few days. I added the ending, title and summary to Lost In Communication, and will be advertising the one I kicked off once it's up. Which should be soon, so advance apologies for spamming. The whole round robin thing was a mixed blessing - I don't regret taking part, but it wasn't the easiest fic fest I've ever signed up for. Doesn't mean it wasn't worth it though - writing outside my comfort zone is definitely good for me - and I can't plug artword enough!
[#2.1 Voting is still going for the Last Fic Writer Standing contest over at sgahcchallenges I'd be intrigued to know if anyone knows which one's mine...]

#3. My NaNo is dead. I'm alright with that, because it just wouldn't have worked. I'll probably give it a few days to settle, then go and start something completely new. My main problem is working out what I want to say about my main character. I can't write to plot, and I can't just write a character. I have to want to say something about him/her/them, and that's what I'm not sure about right now. I'll figure it out, but it's going to take me a little while.

How's your weekend going? Having fun?

I didn't even attempt NaNo even though I know I'm perfectly capable of the word count. Just don't write well to schedules, me, and I feel guilty when I take up something and don't manage to do it on time.

Weekend is good. I am off work! I have no car, but the weather ain't too bad for the bike and the train journeys to work this week have meant I've had some time for writing. The train has always been a creative place for me, funnily enough.

Normally schedules and deadlines are good for me. But I hadn't counted on my confidence being so minimal, which has pretty much scuppered my chances...

I like writing on the move as well - I think it's that there's nothing else to do so it's easier to write :)
