Finally getting into the swing of things again. I've had my sister's birthday to get through, with cake, roller skates, food and good chums to share it all with. I even dyed my hair black! That's a good enough reason to have taken time away from writing...right?
No, 'spose not...but writing oodles of notes and getting sick of the computer screen at work, now that's a bit more like it. Spending full days staring mindlessly into MS Word whilst listening to people talk is manageable, but it doesn't make me want to come home and open up my story documents.
That bit is done with for the time being, and I'm back at the desk.
I also have some hopeful news in that a friend of mine is interested somewhat in designing some of the uniforms and civilian clothing styles in my little world.
Which reminds me, I'll post a few bits and bobs about the world and story I'm writing soon...promise!

Damn you TOR!
I'm clearly far too easily distracted. I keep sitting down and instead of my cursor travelling over to OpenOffice it scoots over to the TOR quick launch button instead. I'm a terrible, terrible person. I'm sort of praying for the the time when I get bored with it so I can stop losing hour upon hour to the Empire (screw you pansy Jedi!).
In other news, things nearly took a very disastrous turn for the worse last week when, during one of my cleverer moments, I managed to spill the best part of a pint of cider over my computer tower and mouse.
It went fzzzzt. pop.
I went...shit. Actually I went a lot more abusive and ranty, but no one wants a transcript of that do they!
Had to nick my sibling's hairdryer and sat praying that I hadn't screwed it totally. That didn't work! So I took it all apart, hairdryer'd the living hell out of it again, checked all the wiring...fun stuff. Miraculously however, doing this seemed to kick the git back to life and thankfully it now lives. Sadly the mouse did not survive the drenching, and has had to be replaced (expense I could have done without).
I have now started backing up what I write! I nearly shat a brick when I thought, fuck, I might have lost my writing progress - yes, I know hard drives can be salvaged, but what if it was the drive that got a drenching, the horror!
Still, things are moving in generally the right direction now. I've broken the 22,000 word mark, making this the longest thing I have continuously written without the focus being shagging. Even then I think it's longer than any of the instalment based erotica I've churned out over the years.
Anyways, hope you're all doing well, have another song!:
