My kingdom for an update

Funny things, blogs. You can set one up without too much thought (I'm living proof of this, by the way) and happily pootle along, filling it with all kinds of foufouraw about your life, your aspirations and your thoughts, and never really think about what you're writing.

And then, one day, your workmates (hello fellas) discover your blog, either through your own injudiciousness or, quite possibly, through your vanity, and you suddenly feel tongue tied where once you were verbose.

Well, that's what happened to me anyway. So I must apologise for my brief absence from the blogosphere. Once I get used to the idea that writing something here may precipitate questions in the workplace I'm sure I'll be back to my usual gross excess of verbiage.

Aside from that, though, this is but a head-above-the-parapet post, so I won't keep a-waffling. I've got a story to finish, and as one colleague, who shall be nameless, pointed out, blogging about writing is perhaps the most perversely ironic form of procrastination possible. Except for blogging about blogging about writing, of course.

NaNoWriMo starts in less than two months. Just a thought...

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
