I’m back from Italy with some very funny stories to tell. Unfortunately for you they’re going on my other blog. So I’m sorry, but you’ll just have to follow any links I drop here once I’ve had time to write a post over there ;) Right now, I’m writing a blog post … because I’m procrastinating from writing.

I hadn’t been intending to carry on with Camp NaNoWriMo. I did start it, but I’d already written around 48k of the novel, and I found myself finished after an additional 35,000 words. This was 15k off the NaNo target and, well, I was in Italy for some of that, right? Plus, you know, end of term, no one really feels up to writing.

Well, today I decided that I was going to finish it.

I might not have explained this properly, because you’re sitting there going, “Oh, she’ll manage it, she wrote a ridiculous amount back in November, it’ll be fine.” You’re wrong, Readers. I’m sorry. The customer might always be right but you’re not.

And the novel I’m writing is one I’ve only just started, that’s kind of lacking in plot and I can’t do this and I don’t even know what I want it to be like! Arrrrgggghhhhhhh!
