Gee... did I fall off the wagon. I have an excuse/explanation...

I got a job very soon after I did that last journal update. My first, full time job. Therefore, what have I been doing rather than writing (much) for the last six months or so? Working - attempting to mold (and control) young minds.

Plus, one day I discovered that something had wiped my entire writing folder off my USB. Nothing else, just all my writing. Which immediately lost about six months worth of work on my novel and all that kind of stuff. All I have now is a very old version of my work and I stalled. (I do still have all the writing I did for the write every day of the year which is kept here - :icon007-tatterdemalion:, which unfortunately for the most part does not include the stuff which I lost on my USB, and was a continution from the place I had been up to - the last 3 chapters between what I had in my old files and my new writings is what I have lost)

I can't write it. and I haven't managed to write anything else other than a few paragraphs since.

I'm going to try and be good and start writing again. To reduce the pressure, I'm going to do some wordspills as they come up from :iconwordspill: - that way hopefully even though I'm working (a lot) and travelling to and from work (a long way), I'll still have some writing outlets.

Wish me luck!!

Hehe, I hope it all works out for you :) I've been off the wagon too, really. Kids, uni, job, family. It all adds up ^_^

The trouble with signatures, of course, is that you can never think of a good one at the time...
