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!:
Phill
