VIM Day

That is Victory for Iseult Murphy Day (sounds a bit scary I know). Ok, so this is another belated post, but better late than never. Watch this space for another out of date post tomorrow!

Yes, 7 Days in Hell is finally finished. It broke 70K, with an end total of about 73/74 thousand words. I re-read it and did a little editing, but it is still quite a rough first draft. I don't know what to think of it. I like some of it quite a lot, but I can't tell if it is scary or funny or if people will be as interested in the characters as I am. I think the main characters are well drawn, but I don't know if they would come alive for other people reading them. It will be interesting to get some reader reaction and see what they think.

This is the first year I have actually finished my NANOWRIMO novel before Christmas! Another first. :)

TGIO Party

Ok, Ok, so I am a bit late writing about this as it took place on the 30th November. I know November wasn't officially over on the 30th, but we thought it was very disresponsible of us to have our thank God its over party when it was STILL November! Not everyone in the group could make it (car trouble) but four out of five turned up. We all brought excerpts from our novels and passed them around and I had certificates for Valpot and myself. We drank and chatted and laughed. It was good fun. Well done Dr Madeline, Geri, Valpot and Natasha. Hope you do it again next year and carry on the resolves of November all year long. Dying to read the finished books! (p.s. Love Black Rabbit Island, Valpot).
