Changing my blog

Ok, to anyone who may be reading this, I'm changing my blog name as I am no longer concentrating on embroidery. So this will slowly fade into obsolete-dom and I won't update here anymore.

Don´t mention the war!

is the general attitude when approaching the Americans I work with, and with the steam slowy curling out of their ears, approaching them may not be the best idea in the first place. Millions of other blogs around the world are screaming in protest (and foul language) right now, so there´s no real need for me to say anything.
But I´d like to, just quietly, here in the background.
Bugger.

Attempting to curb my Neopet addiction

Ok Nanowrimo is not going as well as it could be. A total of 1300 words, which now puts me 2700 words behind where I should be to get a 2000 word a day average. But I´ve got my story outline, I´ve thrown my hero and heroine together in a notable moment of energy and excitement and left the first chapter with a "Who was that masked man" kind of thing.
I feel that I need to insert several more "throbbing desire"´s, "hungry lips" and "demanding manhood" to get the authentic M&B emotion. But so far I´ve managed "sinking beneath the onslaught of his devastating green gaze" within the first paragraph, so I believe I´m at the right level.

The main spanner in the works of this free flowing literary genius is that horrible addictive Neopets site. I´ve been playing on it for about 2 years now, and I´m happy to say that I´ve left the most severe parts of my addiction behind me. I´ve stoppped all quests, I no longer spend hours clicking on shopowners every ten seconds and I´ve boarded up my shop. The one problem is, of course, the games and I´ve just procrastinated away an hour on that extremely involved and challenging click-on-the-brick-excitement Destruct-o-match. Please tell me how everyone else manages high scores in the hundreds of thousands when I can´t get above 3? There has to be some cheat that I haven´t learnt yet ´cause I refuse to believe that I´m just that crap.

NaNoWriMo

I just found this http://www.nanowrimo.org (and then realised it is also talked about on Blogger) and decided to sign up. Nothing like biting off even more than I can chew and, hey, maybe it´ll encourage me towards getting that famous Mills and Boon that I´ve been talking about for years going.

Now I just need a pen name...suggestions welcome....
