It's too early to be so early
Aug. 16th, 2010 08:41 amOkay. I'm back. Sort of. I don't really have anything interesting to blog about, but dammit, I've been at work since 7.30 this morning and my brain is all funny. I spent the weekend at my parents' house, catsitting Fergus while they were on holiday, which meant getting up at 5am this morning to get a bus into Cambridge for work. And because, like a sensible person, I stayed up til nearly midnight watching Ichi the Killer, I am now the tiredest.
But it was a nice weekend! Pip and I went to Whipsnade Zoo on Saturday, and despite the miserable weather, saw lots of cute animals. Like pygmy hippos and flamingos! And meerkats! And these little deer things that were just running around everywhere unchecked. And then on Sunday, Kyle and I watched Fawlty Towers all day and that was also good.

So I'm feeling a lot more relaxed and at peace with the universe than I was this time last week. BLOOD HUNT currently stands at 40k, which is pretty good, but does mean I'm behind schedule. I didn't get any writing done over the weekend, but that was by choice. I know! I can't afford to give myself weekends off with 30k still to write! But this week all is returning to it's regular schedule. I'm pretty sure I can crack this by the end of August (well, I don't really have a choice!), and having a couple of weekends all to myself will help. After that, I owe a couple of critiques to people (although one is just a single chapter, so I'm planning to that today at work since it's quiet here and my boss is off. Sshh!).
