Happy New Year

I've been collecting these blogs in my head recently ... time passes, the idea fades, new blogs start writing themselves.
In truth, I've been computer-averse. Taking the chance of a break from university teaching, I've been pushing my new novel forward. It had been developing fine on my computer, but I've reverted to a fountain pen, black ink and an A4 notebook. When it comes to staring, I do so through a window and not at a screen. It's all quite calming.
Tomorrow we're off on holiday for a week, when my restcure from computers should complete itself.
In the meantime, Happy New Year to You. May your 2010 unfold in a most pleasant way.
