Conquering the Land of Nod

Ah, half term at last. A week-long stretch to sleep in until the sun appears, eat tasty homecooked food, and launch vicious attacks on my first coursework assignments for the year.

NaNoWriMo is less than a week away, too, and I plan to make as much headway as I can before the regular volleys of schoolwork and worse return to eat my brain.

The long-awaited St Mallory's Forever! will also be making serious headway too, because . . . *cue presumptuous drum roll* . . . the first draft is finished! 
I'll be keeping all you lovely people updated on the editing process - both my co-author Miriam, and lovely publisher Mark have plenty of experience in the area, I'm just the newbie along for the ride - so stay tuned!

Who knows. Maybe we'll even get around to release dates eventually.

Of course, as it's the holidays, I am back in Germania - the house now has functioning internet, though my access to it is momentarily uncertain (I have pre-scheduled this post, as I will have spent today travelling through Europe, and will likely be in no state to drag myself out of the Land of Nod at any time in the early morning, and will doubtless be far from fully functioning for the rest of the day).

So, in the meantime, enjoy this picture of my war face.


Rawr. Fear me.

    And enormous applause for finishing your draft! (That's something I can never manage) I cheer enthusiastically and hope that no one dares try and wake you from the land of Nod. :)

    1. HUMAN! You DARE to presume I'm HUMAN! SILLY MORTAL! SILLY SILLY MORTAL! ;)

      Ahehehe, thank you! I hope no one does either . . . homicide is not on my priority list in the mornings . . . normally.

    2. Ah, my mistake. Not human. Partly human? Mostly human? Very good at making an impression of a human while making your war face?

    3. Erm . . . it's complicated. I tried to explain it to someone once, and they didn't get it. We'll just say "humanoid" and leave it at that ;)

  3. Someone else who is doing NaNo, I was starting to think I was alone. *Shakes hand* What is your user name, if I may ask?

    Enjoy the Land of Nod! I plan to visit there soon.

      A fellow NaNo-er, eh? Feel free to add me! You'll find me as "spookofnight" - feel free to drop a message too :D

  4. Ha. Half term.
    (so speaks the idiot who signed up to do a week long course that involves commuting an hour and a half to get somewhere by 9.45 and thus is not getting any sleep at all.)
