Mmm... debt...

I've just opened my bank statement to discover that Nationwide have taken £55 off me for having no money in my account. Is this some form of banking logic that I was not previously aware of? If a person has no money, and you take £55 away from them, what do you have? It's a head-scratcher for your average 5 year old, but apparently it makes perfect sense to bankers. *sigh*

In other news, I now have clean pots! Hurrah! I really must get into a routine whereby these things are not all done on a Saturday morning after piling up all the previous week.

Finally, as today is the 1st of November, I'd better get cracking on my novel (http://www.nanowrimo.org/). It would have been called "Apocalypse... Soonish", were it not for this: http://shifting-sands.alara.net/older01/asdf01.htm, which is extremely funny if you know who En Sabah Nur is and have ever wondered what the hell Jean Grey was doing with a loser like Cyclops. Hopefully I'll finish the thing, regardless of how crap it might turn out and whether or not I can find a title for it that some bugger hasn't already used.

NaNoWriMo

I've been doing this for a couple of hours now and already my brain hurts. 50,000 words is an absolute shitload. I've introduced all my characters and got them moving, and I've only used about 1,500! Now what am I going to do with the buggers?

I'm beginning to think proper novels may be somewhat out of the league of a person who generally writes whimsical short stories and children's poems. :(

Anyway, once more unto the breach, dear friends...
