It’s been a while… I haven’t had internet at home (I’m looking at you, Virgin Media) and I’ve been busy at work, but I’m squeezing this post in on a Friday lunchtime to let you all know that:
1. I am behind on nano. This is not a surprise. The surprise is that I stayed on track for a whole week. Still, if I double my word count by Sunday, I can have 25,000 words and be back in the game. I’m pleased with what I’ve been writing, though, so I’m considering the endeavour a success.
2. I’ve just finished reading American Gods. Fantastic. Huger in scope than Anansi Boys, so I felt a more distanced from the characters, but just epic and brilliant.
3. Genuine excitement – I’ve just remembered that I have the manuscript for the new David Mitchell novel in my desk drawer. I thought that I had nothing to read on the tube home, but now I do!
