Hmmm, let me see. My personal life has literally gone down the toilet at light speed since 31st October to now. Despite the fact I'm not in full time employment, I have not had a whole lot of time to write my Nanowrimo novel. The fact that I don't have a plot seems inconsequential. I'm trying to get stuff made for my market stall on Saturday and so have been spending most of my time on that and will be there all day on Saturday. I have decorators and painters in on Friday and Monday, and my lovely parents arriving on Tuesday to make sure I haven't slit my wrists and staying till Thursday (god, I didn't plan that well)
And none of that is any excuse. Jesus, it's the end of a marriage, not the end of the world.
What I do have is...
A double espresso (and more where that came from)
A packet of sugary biscuits
A packet of sugary sweets
A magic Nanowrimo postcard sent to me from Denise
i'm getting to 25,000+ tonight and then we'll see where we go. I'm telling myself that my reward for doing this is going to the Scissor Sisters on Sunday at Wembley (oh my, makes my chest pound to think of it!)
Told the closest friends over lunch today. Sent home some very emotional drunk ladies. Saying it out loud gets easier each time.
SEND GOOD WRITING KARMA, PEOPLE.....
During and after my divorce was when the writing seemed to pour out...I'm not saying it was the best work I've done, but sometimes quantity beats out quality!

Glad you're getting through the list of People to Tell. Reading about your drunk emo mates reminded me of when our eldest son was born (he had Down Syndrome). In some ways, telling our friends was harder than dealing with it ourselves! It's like you have just enough emotional energy to face things yourself, but not enough to handle everyone else's pain as well. Keep going - you're doing a damn fine job *blowing kisses*

I'm only at 17000, so you are an inspiration to me! Great work and keep it up!
