Since I'm back at work and wishing I was still on holiday, I thought I'd drop in a few links from where we were over the weekend. Since we're not very good at taking photographs, hopefully the pictures in the links will give you an idea of what we saw (and ate - food is always an important feature of the holiday)

We really fell in love with the Peaks, especially since they're only 2.5 hours away, and I get the feeling it's going to be a regular destination.

Wow, that turned out longer than I'd intended, but it's good to have it all written down so I can remember how much we enjoyed ourselves. Now, back to reality. To Do lists won't write themselves, you know...

*looks over shoulder*

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?

Hello, yes, I'm back, did you miss me? Holiday was lovely, thanks for asking - more later. At the moment I'm still trying to work out how on earth I catch up with you lot...

My theory was to set my friends page to 'journals only' and happily scroll back through everything. The problem with this theory was that by the time I'd got 100 entries back, I was still only on 6th September. So my new theory is to use my profile page and just click on each of your journals in turn and skim through them. So I'll definitely get through Becky and Chrys's okay, but unfeathered and xwingace, you may have to excuse me if my typing skill are not up to much later on. I also plan to put all fic links in one place and read them over later.

If anyone has some recs for me, that'd be great - there's no way I'm getting through all the comms. Not with my sanity intact, at least. Doesn't have to be fic - just fun and fandom that you think I might enjoy.

( The promised 'more about the holiday.' Cut for length and use of footnotes. )

Today is for catching up on chores, washing, LJ etc and trying to get ourselves sorted for going back to work while hanging onto the holiday spirit. So I'd love to hear from you all, let me know how it's going and what you're all up to!

It's good to be back :D
