NaNo no no

So NaNoWriMo has come and gone. I got a couple of chapters written and am happy with them as far as they go. I also got some very positive feedback. What I need to do now, of course, is have the discipline to finish it over the winter between work and stuff.

I also, on a long train journey the other day, sketched in a whole series of short stories around a character and I'm quite excited about the possibilities that are there. More on this later but it has the feel of the real deal rather than just a practice piece. I have started researching although I haven't got far yet.

Specifically I have been looking for something I put together a while ago. I remember writing it and I know I've kept it. It was a stream of consciousness thing of images of growing up in the sixties and seventies and I'd like to find it again for colour and tone. It may be in with some old family tree notes in a box in the attic. I'll have a look later.
