• NaNoWriMo, NaNoWriMo 2006

  Ow. Like seriously, ow.

  A large amount of fertile writing time was taken up by a fairly unpleasant migraine (as opposed to the pleasant kind); a certain amount of the rest was taken up by The Return of The King on Channel 4. Curse them. I can only presume that next week, which is Lord Of The Rings (and [...]

  That’s better

  Okay, I’ve finally managed to get more done on a weekend than I would have on a weekday. Woohoo! Okay, it took me all the rest of the day to do slightly under 1500 words, but still! I bask in the warm glow of minor accomplishment. I lost a fair amount of time trying to [...]

  Another "Day Off"

  11.18.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Went to see “Casino Royale” in the cinema – very, very good. Daniel Craig is an extremely good Bond, especially as a new Bond (where he gets to have some character growth), although he has an odd mouth. The film has a lot of fun setting up the Bond basics, and he is able to [...]

  Day 16

  11.17.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Not that much to report – didn’t get the 500 extra that would have put me completely back on track but I didn’t do too bad. Amusingly, despite starting much earlier than yesterday, I only did about the same. So there you go. I don’t know why, but I’ve felt utterly freezing all day, despite [...]

  Not Bad

  11.16.06 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Well, I didn’t make the 30000, but I’m only 500 short, so that’s not bad. And it’s the first day of Week 3, something I didn’t even realise until I did my update tonight. To be honest, I’m really, really amazed how much I got done. I had some computer problems earlier (my router went [...]

  Well, okay…

  Very strange. I nearly had only the one thing to blog today – that when I got in after work I had 32 Spam emails sitting in my Inbox, having got through whatever Telewest does in the way of filtering, as well as Thunderbird’s filters. Working in the hosting industry as I now do, I’ve [...]

  Bah.

  11.14.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Missed my 1667 for the day, the first time on a weekday (why it should be easier on a weekday, I don’t know). No real reason this time, just not getting the words in, I guess. Distracted by this and that. Not very inspired, and kind of confused about where I’m going right now. I [...]

  Not good

  11.13.06 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  I did A Bit Poo today. I could claim that I spent a lot of time cleaning the oven (which was resistant both to Mr. Muscle Oven Cleaner and Fairy Power Spray), and also testing the carpet cleaner on a hiden bit of carpet, for a proposed carpet cleaning expedition. Plus, the weekly shop. And, [...]

  Curses, foiled.

  11.12.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Foiled by, er, myself. How come, with a whole day to write, I manage to do less than I usually do in a workday? I must be pathetic, or something. Yes, that seems likely. I wasted a fair amount of time messing about with World of Warcraft (the first time for a fortnight! Honest!) which [...]

  20K!

  11.11.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Well, another day, another 2k. But as this is Day 10, that means I’ve hit 2K! Another black line on my Progress Report… A bit roller-coastery today; started a little late (despite this being Friday, when I get to leave an hour earlier than usual), and despite being very tired, managed quite a lot in [...]

Musings of a Creative Slacker

"Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff – writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.
