I was being chased by a multi-dimensional array through a scene which reminded me of the first DOOM game. A game I enjoyed at the time, but then I wasn't actually being hunted by faceless daemons.
The fact that I'm still not entirely sure how to write a fully functioning multidimensional array didn't help - and the soundtrack was absolutely rubbish.
But I won't let it bother me, because I also got a snippet (see what I did there?) of and idea for the second chapter from my programmer from hell novel.
I've scoured the house and retrieved my Android tablet which almost wept for joy when I pulled it out of the cupboard. We parted company acrimoniously last year when it broke down halfway through a software update - exactly half way through a software update, leaving me with a main memory of rubbish.
I booted it up, and after some stern finger-wagging and barely veiled threats of what I would do if it buggered up again, it pinged victoriously and now I've begun the first draft of the first chapter. It's great to be back even if the Bluetooth keyboard is utter c**p. I could type faster with that awful screen keyboard, but I don't want to do that anymore since my furious prodding has already cost me one new screen.
Onward and upwards, I'm expecting to finish the first draft of this , oh easily within the next year or two (ish).
