Fourteen days and counting...

As of today, it's exactly a fortnight until I plan to complete my book. Already, my LJ is seriously neglected, and friends who text or phone me asking me to come out to things are getting used to the reply, "Sorry - book." I'm pretty flaky about answering emails, too.

This post is mainly to say: bear with me, gang - this will pass. I apologise if I'm socially all but non-existent over the next couple of weeks, but I'm sure you'll all understand the situation.

I do expect to continue reading and commenting on other people's journals, as, frankly, it's helping to keep me sane in the midst of an existence which is now seeing me leave the house only once or twice a week when I need to go either to the supermarket or to the library. But, as you can imagine, using my spare time to write proper journal entries of my own is somewhat unattractive just now, given that I'm spending all day every day typing like a lunatic anyway. Any entries I do make are likely to be increasingly self-absorbed, and possibly slightly insane: you have been warned!

Normal service to be resumed, I very much hope, after the Easter bank holiday. Till then, arrivederci!

We'll see you on the other side.

Best of luck... and remember, we're here if you want to talk to us.

*hugs*

Whatever it's like, it can't be worse than thesis writing was. This is a thought that's gotten me through several things over the last few years!

Many have said it before, but another voice in the choir always helps...

Good luck with it... writing to deadlines is teh suxxor, but it's the only way of ensuring it gets done.

...but be sure to take care of yourself... after writing 120,000+ words of a draft of a novel in 30 days last year I was NOT a coherent individual for about a looooong time after...
