December tomorrow

[elingregory]

Imagine me making that Macauley Caulkin face, will you.

However December isn't all bad because it means it's time again for the Speak Its Name Advent Calendar! Every day in December there will be a new post by a different contributor. Some are established stars of the genre, some are cheeky so and sos like me who thought it might be fun! There will be stories, information - all kinds of stuff - and prizes for commenters too. Last year it was a blast.

I haven't written much today but I have done some planning on paper over how to organise battles, casualties and escapes. It's fun, in a slightly sick way, interpreting the elegies of Y Gododdin to try and work out a way of making a story out of them:

Of Bernicia's warband I could hardly bear it
Should I leave a single man alive.
A dear friend I lost, keen in combat,
Faithful to him I was, leaving him grieves me.
No desire had he for a dowry,
Cian's young son of Maen Gwyngwn

Or something. None of the versions agree.

It's going live around noon UK time, I believe. So no, not just you. We'll all be watching the clock. :)

I guess I'm jumping the gun. It's been the 1st here for hours now. ;)

Yes. Time zones are a bugger! But Erastes needs to get up, walk the pooch and have coffee, I guess before doing technical stuff. I know I do.

Yes,I'm hopeless before my morning cuppa.

I'll be catching up tomorrow morning, my time. I'm looking forward to seeing what's behind each window.
