Happy New Year Popps!

Hello everyone!

I've been a bit quiet over the Christmas period for two main reasons:

- I'm at my boyfriend's at the moment which means I'm not on my computer as much (we had 2nd Christmas and we've been doing the Family Rounds as it's his birthday tomorrow)
- I have written 50,000 words in the last 7 days - which is a (short) first draft of a novel. Eek! I have a MA in Creative Writing so writing is something I do as a hobby but I'm really pleased I've managed to scribble down so many words in such a short space of time, while I've been off work. Obviously, it would be wonderful if This Was The One that got me published, but I don't have my hopes too high for that. It's a hobby, and editing it will be interesting.

But I hope everyone has enjoyed their New Year celebrations!

On a more MSE note: I changed my internet to EE, and today when all my DDs went out... I still have £70 in my account. I'm usually £200 overdrawn by this time, so I'm feeling good about that :beer:

Good to read your update. Fingers crossed on the writing!

That's fab Popps! And you never know about the writing .... the author of 50 shades was just scribbling in her spare time and look at her now! ( terrible books that I got bored of but good for her on the fortune she made haha)

Congrats on reaching 50,000 words! Did you start it around nanowrimo by any chance? what was the MA in Creative Writing like?

Also, congrats on keeping £70 in the bank!

Hello! No I didn't actually, I wrote something else for NaNo (I managed 50k then as well but it was AWFUL) but this is an idea that's been rolling around for a while, and it seemed to get some legs. Although having re-read it, there's plenty of editing to keep me busy!!
