Well there's a surprise

I just found out that not only does Diaryland still exist, so does my old login.

And you're not having the URL because whoo is it old and I was seventeen when I last posted there. So it's embarrassing. Really.

And yet... something about seeing it still running and still in use makes me feel warm and fuzzy. It's like it says... it's ok, there will always be a place for you. The internet you knew never really went away.

Kind of emotional, really.

NaNo Adventures, Part 2

This is Part 1, in which I pull off a 10K day and obtain a shiny Eevee, in case you were curious.

I kept on meaning to post this for a while and was being a lazy bum about it, but here it all is now. I really have to get out of the habit of seeing longer posts as a chore. Anyway as I said in the first post of this series, in the last few years I'd been lapsing in how much I got into the spirit of NaNo. I was participating and winning, but not really getting into the social aspects of it. But because the forums last year were such a nice place, and I wanted more places to socialise, I jumped in. Initially I afflicted with Brighton but after trying out write ins both there and in London, I decided to stick with the latter.

The third weekend of NaNo was NaNorilla, a novelling crawl across London. You go to places, you write a bit, and then you go somewhere else. Having only ever done normal venue based write ins, this was something I really wanted to try out.

Next time: Doctor Who, and the London Literary Lockin. Or: why London is tied with Yorkshire for best region.
