Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

So, you know how you promise to call someone and then you never quite get around to it due to circumstances beyond your control, and then by the time you do get around to it, it's been so long that you no longer want to face it? Turns out that blogging is a little like that, too.

I was shocked (shocked I tell you) to see that it's been two months since I last had anything to say. In that time I've done a couple of triathlons, finished my novel (writing, not reading, although I've finished one or two of those, too) and spent a couple of weeks pedalling my bike around Ireland. I also washed my bedroom curtains, put up my Halloween decorations and made a color-coded chart for all the writing I could be doing. Anyway, after all that I finally have something to say ("About time," I hear you say.)

So tomorrow (yes, honestly, tomorrow) I will begin my tales of high adventure on two wheels on the Emerald Isle. I promise.
