...because it's Thursday. I was going to do a Wednesday one, but... then I went home... *g*

Right - first of all:
Done it! *g* 50,000 words in a month - actually in less than a month, clearly, as you've seen from my whinging... With any luck that's my blockage over - wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that I also took November off Job 3... I might have to think about that one... I haven't actually finished the story, there's definitely a few more chapters to go, but I think just having managed the 50,000 words counts, so I went ahead and validated (even though I have another couple of days to go - actually I kind of wish I hadn't now, cos of course I've lost my word-counter, which I rather liked updating. I know there's one in Word itself (obviously) but it's not the same as checking it, then going to update a pretty-picture-type icon elsewhere, somehow... it's that extra step that gives a sense of better accomplishment to it, somehow... Ah well - I wrote a Pros novel! *g*

( And some other rambles )

There's something about coming home when you've had a long, lush weekend in London... when it's all about thinking back on that long, lush weekend in London... *g*

Which started out looking like this...

Although admittedly this was after Temeraire'd had a major strop when I tried to park her on the hill in UsualPlace, and refused several times to go either in or out of gear, though she did eventually let herself be manoevred into position... Starbucks helped though, as did being surrounded by Pros-y peeps who have the proper kind of priorities in life - foxcat74's understanding of the glories of a heart-touched latte, for example... *g*

( And then... )

Eeeep and sorry - I've not replied to lots of people but it's cos a) I'm in London - Scarsdale weekend, wheeee! and b) my laptop does in fact appear to be dying and c) Norton appears to be dying with it and I'm currently without protection - eeeep!

But I'll try and fix these things tomorrow and write back then... promise!

So, there was a thing on Saturday, down in London...
( in a wee pub called The Scarsdale... )
