As part of the challenge I’ve given myself to write an entire book on my NEO writing tool, I bribed my monster jailer into allowing me an hour out of the cave and so I could head off into the local woods today in order to find some peace and quiet. I found it, too – if you don’t count the millions of insects buzzing around me!
As you can see from the picture – as part of the deal, I had to leave my left leg behind in the cave.
For those who don’t know about the challenge – I’m so impressed with the NEO as a potential tool for professional writers that I’m attempting to write the entire manuscript for The Uniform (to be published by Barrington Stoke in 2010) on it.

Wait…that was your leg?! I didn’t know. The monsters made me tidy the caves and throw all the rubbish in the furnace. When I saw a random leg lying around, I just… I didn’t… I mean…
Oops. Sorry. Still, think of the money you’ll save on shoes.

It could have been worse. I smelt a nice pork choppy smell and nearly accepted some charred looking meat on a stick from that slurpy purple ghoul with the giant mushroom on his head. I only stopped myself when I noticed a morsel with a toenail – and Tommy’s distinctive pearl nail varnish still on it… Even so, it was pretty tempting…
