The Real World
“As she staggered out into the sunlight, blinking at her surroundings, things began to look vaguely familiar. Yes, she thought. I’ve been here before. At least, I think I have. It’s been such a long time…”
Well.
I feel quite odd.
No nano. I’ve done my 50k for November. And now feel strangely bereft. I’ve been writing nonsense for years and years and years, but nothing could have quite prepared me for that insanely mad, ridiculously intense 4 weeks that I’ve just finished. I want to do it all over again.
But I think I ought to stay in the real world for a little while longer - do something along the lines of education, xmas prep and maybe get round to editing this magazine I have to get to the printers by 12th Dec. There are presents to buy, food to get, Miquon maths to start, a nearly 4 year old who needs a little birthday party planning, a kitchen to choose and buy (by Wed!), tiles to choose (by next weekend) and I feel like I’ve fallen off my computer chair into a whirling maelstrom of chaos.
Back to normal then. 
welcome home

Grin - i found a place to get little tickers - you could just carry on. Forget the list….. (tax return… tax return….)

LOL - I just found the ticker. heh heh. Have chosen 80k too, as it seems doable by the New Year… once I get this magazine to bed.

Sounds very chaotic to me - but wanted to add my well done on the nano thing - can I read your excerpt please?

The except is on my profile on www.nanowrimo.org. Would you believe my user name is Poledragon?
Of course, I keep changing it, so you never know what you’re going to get to read.
