Read Lord of the Flies as a kid at school? 'Course you did. The Guardian held a competition for some of the schoolpeople to design a cover for the forthcoming education version of the book. The result was some pretty good designs:

A cold, yet sunny December day. Sat in a library overlooking a supermarket car park. Beyond it I can see several high rise council flats, dominating the skies of East London. In front of it there is a crane moving around doing its thing. A few clouds here and there and what looks like a sea gull. It’s white and I’m assuming it is a sea gull, even though I am nowhere near the sea.

This is the spot I have chosen to try and continue working on my novel. Crazy thing is, I finished the novel in February 2010, nearly two whole years ago and haven’t gotten around to working on it since. A lack of motivation is one reason. The other is time. The third is the difficulty in pulling apart something you have worked on for months and rebuilding it again. It isn’t easy. 

So this is me making an effort. By writing a post for my site. Dammit.
