I hate it when things happen at work that I would totally lose my cool over if I were anywhere else. I dont' typically let things I'm passionate about slide because talking about it makes a difference.

Victim blaming isn't cool, yo. And yes, you are making excuses. (*has massive internal rant.*)

Good evening Cantina. It's the end of my week's leave and I'm quite tired. Soon to bed, as I want to be up in time to watch the Aussie Open tennis final tomorrow morning (UK time).

Yay, the forum's back up! It's 4am here and I've been on a crisis management conference call for 5 hours so far, I need some light relief. Or a gun, one or the other...

Thanks, all. :)

I'm quietly optimistic that I've finally defeated that mental brick wall that was stopping me from writing. Uni is long since over, and I'm not going back any time soon, so yeah - time to write!

I wish I could choose from a selection of covers for my e-books.

Aw man, that's the funnest part. The only reason I even *have* any ebooks is because I was having too much fun making covers for old stories.

Thanks, I did, though didn't go anywhere before yesterday due to having no money before payday.

I woke up at 4am this morning - I don't know what's happened to my sleep pattern over the last few days. Back to work on Monday, and it's only a month until my job change. My next week off is in May, during which I'll be up way past my bedtime on UK General Election night.

Oh well, will hopefully have some good tennis to watch in about two and half hours from now.

I've written just over 2k words in the past 3 days. I'm very pleased with that, considering I wrote 0 words for months beforehand...

Yay for wordage!

You've certainly earned it...

That's two Cantina Brits up at an unfeasalbly early hour. I hope Ali is sleeping soundly.

According to her Facebook status, Sian is due to land at Heathrow in about forty minutes from now.

I'm not so much "up early" as "never went to bed" :(

What's got you up at this unearthly hour?

Because I woke up at around 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. Something's screwed my sleep pattern, don't know what.

And as I won't get back to sleep, I'm going to watch an episode of Spiral for the next hour.

I was indeed sound asleep and have only just got up.

If Sian has landed I suspect she's having a bit of a shock right now. It's freezing out there. I won't be going far today.

Had another brainwave for my story that I posted about yesterday last night so going to try that this morning after breakfast and Babylon 5.

Well done Cliff. Make sure you really celebrate those wordz huh?

Now tea, I need tea.

Pete, please tell me you've got off that conference call. PLEASE.

Well, he's no longer signed in to AW, so let's hope so!

There is snow on the ground, not much, and light sleet coming down. Hopefully it won't affect the trains as I have a writers' group meeting in London this afternoon.

I watched the Spiral episode and now I'm having my breakfast and watching Sharapova vs Williams.

Have just watched Interstellar, which to be honest with you was less than. Oh well.
Awww. *moes it down on the list*

Bored. Have sinus headache. Can't focus.
Hope you're feeling better today!

WIP is up to 3k now. Huzzah! :D
Huzzah! Gratz :)

Good morning Cantina. :) I've gotten breakfast and exercise out of the way, and now I can't think of what I want to do. >.> Alas.

Also, our podcast went live on itunes and I am deeply mortified because it means my picture is on itunes. And I hate having pictures of me on the internet where anyone can see them. Twenty years on the internet has taught me that's a bad, bad idea.
