I'm a fairly spartan person. I don't know if this is natural or not, I mean I ache to buy a toy Warthog (of the HALO variety, not a pig) but I know it will just be something more to dust.However, I may have been won over by New Crobuzon tube maps!The talented people at society6.com have these for sale now, and I'm thinking this just may be a purchase for our new digs. We'll see if I can slip it past the missus.In other news I've been a productive little writer. Four short stories written, edited and submitted in three weeks is not bad, although O realise now it was an attempt by me to avoid working on the novel. I subconsciously reached a point I knew I had to face I did not have a proper ending for a single book, just a jumper-ending to book 2, which will not help a first time novelist sell an MS.Rather than be grown up and admit it, however, I of course stuck my head in the sane and wrote some short stories. Time to get back on that horse, I think. Wish me luck.Michael
