November ...

NaNoWriMo is not off to a good (or indeed any) start. This is because I am unable to resist temptation. And very good temptation it was too. Unfortunately now my head is full of the wrong things -- and, for some reason, Baroque opera instead of salty shanties. (Did not know until Saturday that Biber had produced an opera. Arminio. Track 1 on the first CD and the second half of track 16 on the 3rd CD are really good. Apart from that there is very little ensemble work -- Biber's forte.)

Anyway,



werk now.

new month's resolutions

In November I shall:
- write 2K a day
- catch up on my non-fiction reading (this is Research) and not wallow in rereads, even the source text for my Yuletide challenge
- catch up while I should be werking on my fiction reviews: Dream Angus, The Virtu, The Mirador ...
- read that darned Hawthorne book for the Penguin blog-a-classic thing
- not spend money I don't have in the book room at Novacon
- create a Nanowrimo character who is sekritly my solicitor (you know, like in dreams) and give her a painful and undignified death
- get fit again now that I'm off the pills that made me devour every carbohydrate in sight.
