TonyQ (tonytheq) | 175 comments As my mate Mago has put a thread in here I thought I would. Last year I read about 8 books in as many months so this year I upped the anti!
The +? bit is hopefully to finally decide on a story to attempt a first (draft at least) of a novel!!
Wish me lack with the latter!

TonyQ (tonytheq) | 175 comments Ok - Here's what I have read (and rated) so far in 2013;

Gone Girl The Devil You Know The Christmas Train Life of Pi The Casual Vacancy The Rook

My last post should have said 'Wish me luck' not 'lack' - duh!

Mago (Mark) | 1709 comments Come on Tony, 50 at least ;)

TonyQ (tonytheq) | 175 comments I think that is a distinct possibility, Mago. Unfortunately I am also supposed to find a job and do the job, finish my ECDL course, try not to get evicted, keep up to date with Goodreads etc and try and write something longer than 50,000 words!
Oh and attend a lecture that I have been coerced into - cheers Mago! LOL

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I'm doing ECDL too! I have 2 modules left to go.

Good luck with your 30 books. You look like you are on track.

TonyQ (tonytheq) | 175 comments Snap! Two modules left. Hopefully get them finished this week then to do the theory for Fork Lift Trucks - there's diversity!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments How much theory is there about fork lift trucks? Sounds a pretty practical subject to me...

Tim | 8539 comments A few pages at least - especially after the brief but bloody debacle of knife lift trucks...


message 10: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I have the yucky 2 left, using database and presentation

Well done, TonyQ - you're off to a good start!

TonyQ (tonytheq) | 175 comments Re Fork Lift Theory. I think it is mostly health and safety stuff - they won't let you on one until you're ok with that.


message 13: by TonyQ (new)

TonyQ (tonytheq) | 175 comments Right 7 down, 23 to go - this is getting too easy! What could possibly go wrong?

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I'm maybe doing my advanced ECDL in the new few months o.O I did my original ECDL at school instead of a 4th AS Level

TonyQ (tonytheq) | 175 comments I've done it!! I've decided and started my +1 challenge for 2013. First few pages written in a couple of hours! Lost track of how many books I've read now - has to be 8 or 9? Will check ...

D.D. Chant (DDChant) | 7663 comments Oops! Just hit a key scene much sooner than expected! However it is working much better like this than how I'd planned it so I guess it's good news! ;-P


message 18: by TonyQ (new)

TonyQ (tonytheq) | 175 comments Chapter 1 book 1 done - editing stage for that next. Then type it up - in meantime working out Chapter 2 - hmmmm? Oh now I have to type about fairies and paperclips - me head hurts!
