I'm getting kinda excited for NaNoWriMo - but also thinking OMG WHAT HAVE I LET MYSELF IN FOR???

I did a little test today, found a semi-interesting prompt and wrote for 15 minutes - came out with just over 250 words. Which makes me think that during Nano I'm going to be writing for around 2 hours per day. Which will be... interesting.

On the more fun side though, I've been playing around with some free software, downloading pretty wallpapers and procrastinating all in the name of science Nano.

I probably shouldn't be posting this because its still unconfirmed but whatever...

The Daily Mail is reporting that Charlie Brooker and Konnie Huq are going to get married.

The nice good fangirl side of me thinks : OMG CHARLIE AND THE TV PRESENTER I WATCHED EVERYDAY AS A KID... ARE GETTING MARRIED. *SQUISH*

But I have *~*other thoughts*~* which I'm slightly embarrassed about.

Basically that tinhat-part-of-my-brain-that-thought-that-Charlie/David-are-geniunely-attracted-to-each-other is dissapoint.

I physically felt like I'd been punched in the stomach.

And now I feel guilty.

ETA: Now been confirmed by Torygraph

I'm sure that in a few hours I will get over my dissapointment (which I also highly suspect has to do with some projection issues) and I'll be happily writing Charlie/Konnie/Dara.

After the last one you'd think that I would swear myself off audiobooks for awhile. But no - I'm a glutton for punishment and I've already started a new one : 'Darker than Love' by Kristina Lloyd.

I'm only half way through so I can't give a complete review but so far this book is much much better than the last one. The plot isn't very deep or original but then again - its porn.

Basically think 'Victorian bodice-ripper with a D/s theme'.

"No no you will never take my maidenhood!!" and stuff like that does make me giggle but it also has its moments of pure hawt which is all I can ask from erotica.

The best thing is that the reader is excellent. She has a lovely clear voice that isn't jarring. She doesn't overact or make creepy sex noises *looks pointedly at other audiobooks*

I'm actually looking forward to downloading the next part.

I'm addicted to reading the Latest Things page... but I'm not sure the DW etiqutte when it comes to commenting on a post in latest things from someone not in your circle.
