Hello bloggies, you might have noticed I’ve not been about much this month, I was hoping to be able to get on here a bit more but my time has been taken up with my Nanowrimo project. What this basically means is that rather than writing blog posts, I’ve been cranking out about 1600 words a day to get 50k words of a novel completed in November.
This is just a quick little post to make sure you all know you’re not forgotten and so see my progress so far (as of yesterday).
This little chart show’s where I’m at – I’m doing pretty good and hoping to finish in a day or two. I hope you’re all keeping well!
I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer. The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actuallyβ¦
In this series of posts I’m going to look at the human perspective and ask questions like ‘What does it mean to be human?’ or ‘How can I be a better Human?’ with a little sprinkling of ‘How can I be more comfortable as a human?’In this mad world we’ve been enduring especially over theβ¦

My name is Simon I'm an engineer, creator, free thinker and occasionally writer. For far too long I had ideas and nowhere to put them for the world to see, that's why Planet Simon was created.
I'm an experimenter, explorer and fascinated by the world around me and the people in it. My exploration goes further than the known universe and expands out to universe's I've created in my mind and put onto the creative canvas.
I'm not the person I used to be and over time I have evolved and the blog is evolving with me. Whatever this blog is in the future it's a place where all are welcome and ideas can roam free to find their magical place in the universe.

Good job! It isn’t easy. Did you pass out for a few days and wonder about the demise of the world? Writing can be draining.
Simon, congratulations my man! What software or app is the chart you showed from? I’d be interested in using something like that to track and keep me motivated in my own writing progress.
Thank you… That’s the Nanowrimo stats tracker. I don’t think it’s an app but if you create an account you can use it to track your writing progress on any writing project any time of year

Is sticky good? π

The stickier, the better, my dear Sir. Because stickiness implies more jam, and honestly, who am I to go ahead and day no to extra jam???

Ah, I see. The raspberry jam we get in India is sorta awful, and I never took to marmalade ‘cos it’s too bitter.

I imagine that sugar isn’t as cost effective there as it is here, I like tasting food from other countries, I always think it’s interesting.
