Read: Jan 28th - Anna Karenina

I tried reading a little more of this 'classic'. So far I have found little that pulls me into the story keeping me interested and the full naming of people like Stepan Arkadyevitch make life very difficult for someone who enjoys the ease of reading English. Any hurdle like that annoys me a little.

Write: Jan 28th - Holiday!

No, I'm not taking a break (haha!), I'm finally starting to work once more on my new Skins/Naomily story that is basically an Alternate Universe in which Naomi and Emily meet on a holiday in Spain.

There is a basic plan and strangely enough I've already written the most random section from the point of view of a bar man. I've also written a later scene between Emily and Katie.

It's my first proper attempt (at least, in a long time) at trying to include other characters into the story.

I tend to write Naomily, Katie, their families and the occasional Cook or JJ or Effy. Rarely the others and rarely so many of them together.

The holiday will centre around Emily, Katie, Effy and Pandora being a group of friends who decided to go away together
