Progress (at last)

Thanks to the impetus from Saturday (and possibly also because I forgot my book today), my word count has crept on by a whole 1%! Squee! Am now feeling a lot less like a fraudulent Racer, and while the finish is still a long way off, I'm out of the pits and back on the track again for the first time in months. It feels good.

Wow!

It seems fitting that my first post in ages should come straight after I meet all my fellow Novel Racers. (Thanks for the verbal kick up the bum Zinnia, please keep them coming!) Talking to everyone, sharing our ideas and experiences has made me want to stop letting work etc get in the way of both my blogging and writing. Even if it's just a few sentences, I need to actually do something regularly. So, I apologise for any times you have checked the blog and nothing had changed - I will do better. (Though being properly better about writing might have to wait until after my Italian exam. Eek.)
