I thought that each week I would add a photo of the week. Hence, the photo to the left. It was either this wild, magical tree or a steaming pile of horse dung. I think I made the right choice. It was taken on New Year's Day at Clifton Country Park. Please feel free to write a story about said tree. I may do so too. Eventually.
On the writing front I've been working on a commissioned novella 'This Foolish & Harmful Delight' and have completed 4361 words this week (up to Saturday). I'm rather foolishly delighted to be writing again. I appear to be back on track. Heck, I may even catch up with reading everyone's blogs soon. It's like a mini-miracle. I've also been reading through and editing the first 10,000 words of my novel 'Last Seen Drowning' before I move on to re-writing the next 50,000ish words.
I've also decided to walk 70,000 steps a week (averaging 10,000 a day - ooh, look I can do maths). Imagine my delight when I discovered that a bunch of people were doing the 'Million Steps Challenge'. We have a blog and everything. So far this week (1st to 5th Jan) I've walked 62,136 steps (easily within my 10,000 steps a day by 12,136 - ooh, more maths). I'm aiming for three and a half million steps by year end.
And that is that, for now...

Hey! Cate's the's back in bloggosphere. Hoorah! I like the sound of commissioned.
A lot of steps. Best of luck with all your plans for the new year.
Thanks, guys.
I see I'm not the only one returning to the blogosphere. Welcome back and here's to regular blogging in 2013.
Glad to hear it. Too many people are blogging off in favour of social flammery.
On the steps thing, make sure it's not all up and down stairs or you won't make it to 2013.
And a welcome back to you too, Jameson.
I've been mainly leaving on Facebook and Twitter :O
