... with great difficulty. I have so much to do and my flist is so massive - I've just gotta stop browsing every time I stop for tea (this is often). I know I'm behind here; lots to read, lots of commenting to do but it really will have to wait till tonight ::sigh::

I just finished the last 1500 words of my book; Santiago's finished!!! At last! ::and there was much rejoicing:: On now, to Guantanamo, where I met good people and stupid things happened - the kind of things that make for brilliant stories, things that you know, even as they’re happening, are going to make brilliant stories later, but are a total pain in the bloody arse when they're actually happening to you.

Anyway, with chapter 10 complete, I get to add the total to my progress chart, now standing at a pleasing 62, 330 words; about 69% of the (estimated) total.

I'm off for a strenuous walk now, before it rains - it's gone awfully dark out there ::meep:: - gotta get some exercise in before the snow they’ve promised us for the weekend ::laughs with a slightly unnerving, hysterical edge::. Then I have to put the bathroom back together (yup, it's all finished at last!), make a start on clearing the spare room (oh God preserve us) so we can decorate in there, have a work out, then get on with a bit more of that there Rainbows sequel.

Such is my life. The excitement's a killer, but I'm learning to cope.

Mood:: 'cheerful' cheerful

1) Your bathroom has a special place in my heart thanks to the time you replied to a comment, "The bathroom, she is painted." (She is making me smile, is what she is.)

2) Offers little flist-massivity sympathy to woman who a mere few days ago posted an entry entitled "I was bored" about said subject... ::grins, unable to *not* feel sympathy (despite the irony of it all), and offers Gilly more tea (and more tea breaks)::

3) Gets to true purposes of this comment: Excellent progress on your book! ::cheers, excitedly::

1. Well you have a special place in my heart, honey. You are welcome to bathe in my O-so-chic limestone and shale bathroom anytime. I have bath bombs... ::she said, with a winsome, come-hither look in her eye::

2. Gentle Flister, do not suppose I am unaware of the irony (man, what a talkative lot y'all are!).

3. Aw, thank you sugar. It should have been a whole lot more, in all honesty, only there are these fics that keep me awake at night and keep me from finishing my book and the oscar noms and massive quantities of cash that must, of necessity, follow.

The 'Friends Filter' thing is my big friend. ::hugs it::

Wow, bad me hasn't been keeping track lately of your writing progress but well done!

I sincerely hope you didn't get rained upon and do feel free to send any snow you may get later my way :)

::hugs you::

Oh heck, why would you worry about the.. 'N.O.V.E.L...? ::organ chord, lightning crash, wolf howl:: Progress has been slow of late, it has to be said. Man, but that Christmas push soon petered out. Sheesh!

"do feel free to send any snow you may get later my way :)"
It's here, in big purple clouds and gale force winds. You *sure* you want some? Cos you are really, really welcome to it!

::Meep!!!:: As I wrote that, the heavens just opened in THE MOST ALMIGHTY HAILSTORM - help.... Not sure we're driving to Yorkshire today, after all. Better call Mum...
