Today I finally confessed to my mum that I was doing NaNo. As I wasn’t sure how it would go I’d avoided mentioning it prior to the 1st and then it had just felt awkward. Today I went to help with a chore and my mum asked whether I was too busy. I assured her that I wasn’t and that she came first anyway, but she asked what I’d been doing. Very hesitantly I confessed that I’d been writing, but that it was just a silly fanfic and no big deal.

My wonderful mother told me to go straight back upstairs and write more words 🙂 She said she didn’t care what I was writing, just the fact that I was writing again after having panic attacks over it all year was enough. I am so damn lucky. I really don’t deserve her.

Anyway, today we finally just about reached the running and shooting portion of escaping from Praxis (still haven’t quite made it out). I made a reference to The Five being ahem rather close in the past haha, which I might go back and edit out. I’ve never quite decided my preferred headcanon for that. In terms of love I 100% ship Helen/John/James no question. I’ve always seen Nikola’s regard for Helen as being unrequited, and that while he flirts incessantly it’s without any real expectation, more like friendly banter than anything. But that doesn’t preclude some group bonding sessions so to speak back at Oxford. Can’t decide.

Tomorrow we should finally leave Praxis and return to the Sanctuary where things will kick into high gear. John will have to go and rescue Ashley and Henry from the clutches of the Cabal but with James Watson on the case, the Cabal aren’t going to have such an easy time of it.
