Radio 4 and 4.3% of a novel. I gotta be a writer - surely?
For some reason I was putting off the start this year. I’ve been listening to the series of plays this week on Woman’s Hour about The Gunpowder Women (well worth it, if you want to listen again) so I thought I’d make a start after Woman’s Hour. Then I started itching a bit, so I opened up a blank document and wrote the title. The last thing I remember is someone talking about transsexuals within the church and before I knew it the radio was beeping midday. I had only written 800 words or so by that point but it was a start at least. Look at my sidebar now! I’ve written 4.3 % of a novel apparently.
Ah! Dark afternoons and a whole paragraph describing a sip of water. It must be that time of year again.
Non-NaNo related sentence of the day; Does anyone know how long a packet of roll-out icing lasts once opened, especially as it tells you on the packet not to keep it in the fridge?
