NaNoWrimo, Flickr and Other things a Blogger can mess around with

education_ver2

Ok, so this month is NaNoWriMo, the gruelling exercise where you try and write a 50,000 word novel in a month.

I liked my start, I’m up to 11,000 words. Haven’t been able to blog anime much, but I have been enjoying watching Dragonball on my new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone for my anime fix. Of course this is all distracting me from increasing my word count, hopefully I will be able to reach 50,000 by the end of the month…

I also went out to Circular Quay this week and didn’t get to show you any photos of my trip out there. I was there to see An Education, the new Nick Hornby scripted film. It was a good movie, I recommend you see it if you can because it’s one of the most well written and plotted movies out there at the moment.

As well as that I uploaded the photos from my trip to Circular Quay on Flickr, check them out and leave your comments if you like my photos.
