In 10... I don't think I'll be updating my journal nor submitting too many deviations on here for a while. 9. I'm trying to Get Serious re. the novel + writing & submitting short fiction 8. so I'm going to be concentrating on that, the blog 7. and other things from now on. 6.

Let me know, as ever, what you think. In case you were wondering, the title of this entry's take

Bioshock and the thoroughly excellent HalfLife 2 have been seeing me through these cold, headache blasted, cough filled days and nights. Seeing as "well, I wanted to do it, but I've been feeling rough so I spent the time whacking Splicers and Headcrabs instead" isn't something my university or lecturers are likely to accept as a valid explainat
