A short hiatus...

Hello.....I'm back!  Not sure if anyone is still here or if they ever were....but hey ho, here I am!  I've been away being generally crap....maybe this week's goal should be not being crap for a week?

I've heard it said that everyone has a book in them.  I think I do and this week's goal (aside from 'not being crap') is to write something every day and this measly blog post doesn't count.  I love urban fantasy books, Ilona Andrews, Kelley Armstrong, Patricia Briggs and so on and am hoping to continue along the same vein without plagiarising, which is harder than you think!  I think I have a great idea and then it slowly dawns on me that this fantastic completely original idea is actually very similar to something I read in so and so's book, very disappointing.  Deleting umpteen paragraphs is not as satisfying as ripping out rows of bad knitting but is lonelier, sadder and somehow more pathetic as you watch sometimes several hours worth of words vanish.

The NaNoWriMo lot aim for a book in a month so I probably wont be able to invent, write and finish a book in a mere 7 days but sod it, what else am I doing?
