Chapter Seven!
Edited and posted! Sorry it was late - and I don't know when Chapter Eight will be - I know what happens, but I haven't written any of it yet.

Hello Again!
Chapter Seven is finished! Done! Over! All I need to do now is edit it, once my editors have emailed me back, and then post it.
So it took a little longer than I expected, but never mind.
I can also tell you that Caernarfon was BRILLIANT. I bought the following (three from Palas Print, and two from WHSmith):
See you sometime soon with Chapter Seven!

I can also tell you that Caernarfon was BRILLIANT. I bought the following (three from Palas Print, and two from WHSmith):
- Silver, by Andrew Motion (because pirates.)
- The Hobbit, by JRR Tolkein (because it's the 75th anniversary pocket edition with the very nice cover)
- The Woman In Black, by Susan Hill (once again bought mostly on the strength of the cover)
- Demons, by Dostoevsky (because I haven't read any Dostoevsky and I feel I should)
- The Demi-Monde: Winter, by Rod Rees (for no other reason than it sounded good.)
See you sometime soon with Chapter Seven!

Insert Witty Title Here
Good Evening To Ya!
I told you I'd tell you if I think I'm going to be late.
I might be late.
I'm not sure. I need another few hundred words to finish Chapter Seven, but they are VERY slow in coming. I'm also fully up to date now, which essentially means that I'm writing-and-posting rather than being a couple of chapters ahead. This is very annoying.
It's especially annoying that, around the time I posted C4 I'd written up to C9 - but then I realised C6 was complete crap and completely rewrote it. Which of course ended up leading the story in a slightly different direction and I had to scrap seven, eight, and nine. And gave me a lot less room to manoeuvre.
I can however tell you that C7 includes:
The absolutely rubbish bit is there are parts of this chapter that were really fun to write - until I had a bit of a breakdown after the Editing Hell that was the last chapter and all the words I had yet to write down decided to bugger off to Timbuktu Timbuktu* without me.
In other news!
My writer's block (or rather writers cramp, because it's not so much "I can't write!" as it is "I can write, but it's in such short and painful sentences that I might as well just stop and wait it out.") has left me with a week free, and boredom has reigned supreme.
Or it tried to, at any rate.
I have staved it off by...
BAKING!
Ah, yes. So far this week I have made two batches of cookies and one Victoria Sponge and, unless I run out of Stork, tomorrow I'm making another batch of cookies and a fruit cake.
Yes, the domestic life suits me.
Cue sarcasm sign.
There was something else I was going to mention, but I've forgotten it now. Gosh darn it.
Anyway! I might see you on Friday, but it might be the weekend. Monday on the outside.
I'm in Caernarfon on Friday, too. Lucky me!
No sarcasm sign!
Really!
ANYWAY!
See you then,
~Alice
*Timbuktu Timbuktu is from this episode of Cabin Pressure. Surprisingly.
Also, if you are not listening to this show, start. Now. Go on! Go!

- Joe
- Crime scenes
- More Strange People Doing Strange Things
- Crying
- And more Joe.
