I know I’ve been bad, not having updated this blog or indeed written anything. In December I wrote 2,000 words of my NaNovel, and since then it’s been sadly neglected, even though I know how it’s going to end.

It’s also true that I’ve written practically nothing after that brief return to Imaginary. I had to write short pieces for school of course (and I did visit Holeworld in a story called Eric the black mage), but it’s been quiet. I’m not a writer and that’s it. I like doing NaNoWriMo once a year, but writing isn’t one of the most important things on my mind. That’s okay, it’s not like anyone’s forcing me to write or something. I’ve found other ways to express creativity and I’m quite happy (though now and then I’d like to write one or two lines of witty dialogue to that other story, but I don’t usually make it so far as to switch on the computer).

Script Frenzy then… I’m not quite sure if I’m going to participate this year. I know it’d be cool to say in a ten years’ time that I’ve won every single Script Frenzy, but that bloody scriptwriting seemed to be all about dialogue, in which I suck, and it seemed to have so many rules compared to basic prose-writing. I haven’t made any decision about Screnzy yet, but please don’t try to talk me into it. Maybe it just wasn’t my thing after all. But who knows…

And to other things: I spent a great deal of my Christmas holidays reading Stephenie Meyer’s Eclipse (well, it took me one night to read but I thought about it a lot…), watching Green Wing (haven’t stopped yet), which weren’t really healthy for me. So no life.

Back!

Hi!

I just made a new page to make your lives easier. It contains links to all the texts I’ve posted in this blog and it can be found here. For now everything is in Finnish, but I’m currently writing a piece in English, so stay tuned.

I was asked to join Kiwi Writers, so as a New-Zealander, I did :D There was this awesome challenge of a cat story and since I’m bored, I decided after a moment of hesitation to participate. I’m also gathering the will and strength to go back to NaNo and finish it.

I didn’t read almost anything in November, so I’m taking it back now. I’m reading two Pratchetts at the same time, but a week ago I bought Stephenie Meyer’s New Moon and read it during the weekend. I admit being young and romantic, but I can’t help loving those books (I’m planning on buying Twilight and Eclipse as Christmas presents to myself). And the point is that even thinking about those books makes me want to go back to NaNo and finish it, but somehow it seems impossible. One day I stared at the text in Q10 and thought: “Oh my god, I just can’t write a single word more.” It’s not that I don’t like the story, maybe I’m just afraid of finishing, because as you know I am Miss Unfinished Tales.
