Despite my absence, I have not been working on nanowrimo. I'm sure you were all expecting a dramatic post stating my completion of nanowrimo in record time. Sadly, I must dissapoint you.

Perhaps vim wasn't the most conducive text editor to use. Perhaps I prefer writing out my stories by hand. I tried to come up with some plots, but they were all rather dark. I didn't feel like writing 50,000 words on something quite dark and unlikely to have much humour.

Instead, I have been using the time to prepare Christmas cards, and a few birthday cards. All I needed was a Parker Vector with a selection of calligraphy nibs, a bottle of Private Reserve Sherwood Green, Bristol Board, coloured paper, scissors, and glue. Obviously, years of Blue Peter instruction helped too.

If anyone would like to receive a card, then please contact me before the weekend.
