Fighting against the inertia of three weeks without writing has been hard this last week or so but finally I have picked up with Jude where I set him down at the end of Camp Nano. There’s a lesson there, I think, about keeping going being easier than starting up, but after the real effort required to do as much writing as I did last month following a very very long fallow period, I don’t think I ought to be too hard on myself. 

The competition I want to enter has a deadline approaching in September and I’ve still a good way to go before I’m ready to enter. Despite that I’m feeling very positive that I will make it. After that it’s only a hop, skip and a jump to Nano proper in November. That is going to be fun!
