Safely ensconced in Starbucks on Villiers St, banging out Children’s Crusade. 1,000 words down so far, 9,000 to go by end of Sunday.
8:53AM
Have deserted wife and kids for weekend. Feel like bad husband/dad; but feel like righteous breadwinner. Must type! Type like the wind!!
9:40AM
The drunk-already twats who just sat down next to me have actually started drumming. All of them. In time, on the table. I may kill them.
9:46AM
Oh god now they’re singing the tune to Grange Hill. Anyone got a fork with a sausage on it? They want to put lyrics to it and do a cover.
9:51AM
Now they’re discussing how to get a ‘record company dude’ to come see one of their gigs. Tip: don’t offer them crappy covers of TV tunes.
9:53AM
“The beat was great: bang bang bang bang bang bangetty bang bang BANG!” “Wow. Is it on youtube?”
10:04AM
Popped to Boots, got earplugs, returned. Moved seats. BUT… they’ve got f***ing BONGOS out!!
10:12AM
Dear Starbucks, turning on the piped music to drown out the drumming collective Does. Not. Help. Bongos vs Buble – who will win?
10:52AM
Sitting in Starbucks on Villiers St writing a scene that takes place… in Starbucks on Villiers St! That’s research, baby, yeah!
10:59AM
2,250 words down. Nearly halfway to my day’s intended word count and it’s only 11am. Yay me.
11:12AM
@rabbitandcrow I love Glee. It’s High School Musical as written by Sith Lords. Come to the dark side, we have singalongs. Evil singalongs!
11:17AM
The bongos have left the building! This is good. The hit squad I dispatched are now free to make their move. Mwahahahaha!
11:33AM
YES! http://www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=27007 The hardest men in all of France are back! I’m such a sucker for Musketeer movies.
12:06AM
3,000 words. I am on FIRE! Also: sick, coz this is nasty stuff I am writing today. Child trafficking, murder rooms & bad bad men.
12:14AM
@abaddonbooks Yes, that’s CC. No cannibalism this time, but there is a lot of very, very nasty stuff happening just off screen.
12:41AM
Lunch was tomato & pasta salad, fruit salad and smoothie. Healthy me. Now, back to work. 2,500 more words to write b4 home time.
I then got sucked into the vortex that was #sitcomdoctorwho and in short order tweeted:
- How I Met Your Mother (or was it Susan? or Romana? Or Donna, perhaps?)
- The Ood Life
- To The Mara Born
- 30 Raxicoricofallapatorius
- My Two Doctors
- Type 42, Where Are You?
2:05PM
Enough of this foolishness, 1,000 words to go! (And no more lattes or cheesecake. Working in Starbucks = not healthy really.)
But then::
- Mentors Behaving Badly
- Red Dwarf Star Alloy
- Saved By The Cloister Bell
- Suddenly Susan
2:12PM
Enough, I say!
2:37PM
A smurf just walked past outside. A real live smurf. Have perhaps drunk too much coffee.
2:50PM
@jamesmoran The 1TB Sky HD box is here! I want one sooo badly…. so I can store even more HD telly I never have time to watch.
3:18PM
5,000 :-)) Now home to wifey. I have hunted and gathered, my love, and I bring you – WORDS!
8:11PM
@jenni_hill Fat chance of that – tomorrow I’m back to Starbucks for day 2 of the great weekend writeathon. Got another 5,000 to do.
10:59PM
Just saw ep 4 of the new Survivors. I’ve enjoyed it well enough so far, but THAT was a show hitting its stride. Not written by Hodges, tho.

Sick kids kept wifey up all night. Writeathon abandoned. Will resume next Sunday. Schedule slips again :-(

So the reason my breadmaker bread is so incredibly dense and solid is that I’ve been using the wrong yeast all this time. D’ough!

Stayed home to help exhausted Emma, but had pre-migraine head all day & been f**k all help & big, grouchy hindrance. Happy Valentine, wifey!

Sunday = #husbandfail #dadfail #valetinefail #romancefail #writingfail. This means, I think, that it must be wine-o-clock.
