Nov. 30th, 2009 10:34 pmI have a question for all Australian peeps who put me up and fed me and generally made sure I did not get eaten by any of your massive population of Animals That Eat/Poison/Stalk People for Funsies; have any of you moved house since I was there? Because your Xmas presents are getting posted tomorrow and I want them to go to the right place.
chickybee32, I'm only posting you Tristan's because yours & Lee's present is coming via email (it is not fic. sorry) closer to Xmas as it's hard to resist opening an email before December 25th. :) Is your usual email still the one you had when I was there?
Everyone else; I am - shockingly - not dead. I am planning a post of epic win involving pictures of London and tennis players and giant pigeons. However, it may have to wait a bit longer because I'm finding that I write better if I limit myself to Twitter. There's minimal time you can waste on 140 characters. Possibly I need to set aside an LJ hour every day in which I don't feel guilty for writing LJ posts instead of writing fic and such.
By the way, I failed at NaNo again but I did hit 9,000+ words which is better than I've ever done before. Then I wrote 5000+ on something else entirely and as it's still November 30th, I feel I've had a productive writing-November even if NaNo didn't pan out.
Now I am going to watch Merlin from Saturday because I was too engrossed in tennis to remember it and I've written enough for a bit that I feel I can take some time off. Also I'm really craving popcorn. Mmmmm.
Normal LJ service will probably be resumed soon. I'll try to work out how to write LJ posts and fic concurrently, possibly by growing a second head and two more arms. Hurrah for cunning plans!

I never get tired of buying shiny things. Tristan's present is really cute. ^_^ It's adressed to him but it's wrapped in Xmas paper inside & your Christmas card is inside the outer brown parcel paper, so you don't have to wait 'til Xmas to open it. I hope he likes it.
