You crazy

I'd forgotten that one of the biggest jobs of Nano (aside from painfully extracting 1667 words a day) is when you realise that there are a few impossible writing days ahead. You do some basic maths and find that on the 5th November, you need to write 10,400 to be on target for the end of the week.

I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN ALREADY.

I appreciate that I've been out of the writing game for some time, but guys my writing is BAD, I mean seriously AWFUL.

Every time I read it back, I do a mini sick.

I'm sure that this happened at the start of the other four novels - I've probably just blanked it out to protect myself.

At lot of the prep talks are about letting go, re-embracing the vast imagination you had as a child. My imagination is currently like the misplaced car key when you're trying to escape from zombies.

I'm frantically patting my brain down and screaming - 'WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS IT?'

My 9-5 life has gobbled it up. Nom nom.

Is it possible, that there's just nothing new to say?

I think that's way more likely than me just being a shit writer.

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood because I got kicked on the tube, and only mouthed 'Ow' but remained silent.

I'm a mime artist! I know just how Ariel felt now, when she traded her tail for legs with the sea witch, but found out that her voice was gone, and she couldn't tell Eric who she was.

It's really nice when you find that Disney can be relevant as an adult.

At least I seem to be fulfilling one compulsory part of NaNoWriMo:

 GOING COMPLETELY MENTAL.

Only 25 lovely days to go.

And now for this weeks, Sleep of the week, temporarily re-titled to Sleeps of the week.


It's only been submitted by Sand Man extraordinaire Nia Edwards!

For those of you who don't know Nia, here is a recent photo of her, from our night out at Dine in the Dark:


You can see from the Tube photo, that she has managed to knock out three defenseless commuters using only one pinch of magic sand.

What happens to them when they're asleep?

Only Nia can say.
