How sad that I must slow down my reading of books.

Now I am back at school my eyes fail so I cannot stay up late and read. Oh well, last year was brilliant for my consumption of books.

Last night I had a choice to read or watch TV. The review of Salvation meant I had to watch it and I am glad I did; however, the choice meant no reading.

Today, on my writing agenda is to practise my talk on ‘horror writing’. I am going to present to 180 12-year-old boys on the topic of writing horror, so I must review the talk and get it up to scratch. The boys usually love it and walk away highly motivated to write, and with some extra writing tools.

Also, I have to prepare my school lessons, catering for someone to come into my class and teach, so  I can do the talk.  I had best get started.
