Halfway through National Novel Writing Month, halfway through novel...

Over in the world of 50,000 words in one swift month I'm halfway there! Made it to 25,000 words (not all of which I have spelt correctly or make narrative sense) this morning. According to the rules of the game all first drafts are rubbish, so we're doing alright.

And strangely had time for a few other things these last few weeks:
- halfway through knitting a scarf which I want to finish in tandem with National Novel Writing Month
- clocked over another 1000 on by bicycle on Tuesday (and I have to write that down so I don't forget when I publish the next picture, though Justin's camera has gone a bit disco and the picture is a bit purple and blurry so I'm not too excited about it.
- signed up to do London Marathon in April. And raise money for WellChild for said marathon place.

Best get back to my fictional world where I need another 700 words before bed...

The 5000 km photo


This is the 5000 km photo, still in London, early morning daily commute, but you can't really tell that as Justin's camera has decided that it doesn't want to take bog-standard photos like all of the other cameras in the world. And that it likes disco.

I'd like to say that this photo was taken on Bill Oddie's street (him from the Goodies, now on reasonably tame nature docos) but in reality this is the street that I once saw Bill when I was cycling the other way, in summer. That version of the story isn't quite so tidy.

(I confess, yet again I'm writing this in the distant future. Keeping you on your toes, yes).
