Here's the thing:

I am joining the ranks of Hopeless Bloggers. Clearly, once every three or four months is woeful. I had in my mind to delete the entire blog from the top menu bar, but who knows? One day, when life isn't quite so busy, I might resume writing here more often.
I know there are writers who are amazing and write two books a year 
a, with large families
b, with whizzy fingers that type 5k words a day
c, by getting up with lark (that could be my problem - no actual larks nearby)
d, by not running exciting litererary competitions
e, by having no other life
but I am not one of those, although I sometimes wish I was.

This year will see the completion of my next novel. New Year's Resolutions aren't my thing as a rule but there, I've said it. So if this blog slips even futher down the Hopeless Blogger rankings, that'll be why. 
I'll keep you posted. 
Oh wait...
