Been here for a couple of hours already. Dealt with emails; finalised a very important press release (you’ll see!) and fired up Second Life. Doesn’t seem to be quite so laggy today, but I’m sure it’ll get back to its usually treacly self as I get writing. Tonight’s target is a mammoth 5500 words – 1500 more than yesterday. I’m a glutton for something.

And just wait until you read the press release. I’ll post it here some time after midnight, before it goes out to the world tomorrow morning. I told you you’d be the first to know.

W00t, w00t.
