throwing in the towel at 20,563

[tadorna]

Yeah so, I've given up on NaNo. It was getting boring, and I lost myself in the tangled maze my novel had become. I think perhaps it was the moment when I found myself preparing to insert the entire recipe for lazulus's coconut and cinnamon buns into the text, that I realised it was a lost cause. One day, maybe, I'll revisit it and attempt to hack my way through the briars and find something resembling the story. On the plus side, I won't be going on about it any more! (Yay).

I'm going away now to hibernate and read 'The Secret History'. Goodnight.

I was given The LIttle Friend for bday but not yet read cos was reading Ann-Marie McDonald's The Way The Crow Flies which I got totally immersed in and obsessed by. Read Secret Hist in Feb and liked it. Not as fabulous as McDonald's book but still good. Tell me wot u think.

(Lj withdrawal makes inner spelling police deteriorate. I know we like to feel superior by always spelling everything out and only now and again allowing ourselves the ironic omg liek wtf but heck, is so much faster 2 leave out the spelling police injunctions & just 2 type in words liek nite & thru.)

rite on!

I'm really enjoying Secret History so far, in a 'read it all night' kind of way, which I haven't had for a while. So that's nice. Tell me about this McDonald book please.
