I’m sort of missing writing a bit. Another week or two and I shall have to start editing The Novel. I will drink coffee and eat cake in my lunch hour, while becoming enormously fat and disillusioned as to my novelly ambitions.
In the meantime, I plan an early night with Ailsa Cox’s Writing Short Stories. Crumbs, I am so rock ‘n’ roll.
