Sponsor Me. For Real, Though. (Not Really)

Good morning, Readers!

Those of you who follow me on Facebook or Twitter may have noticed a post yesterday talking about my expensive taste in holidays.  No, no, it's not about staying in castles and being fed peeled grapes by shirtless slaves.  It's camping.

In Kazakhstan.

WITH HORSES.

I would love to spend 17 days in a national park, riding and camping as we visit breath-taking spots and ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES. AH!  Are you kidding me?  That sounds like my kind of heaven!

There are also other places this company does the whole, ride-and-camp holiday, and I honestly want to do them all.  Really, it was the visiting of archaeological sites that made me want to do the Kazakhstan trip the most.  Seriously.  You can check it out here.

I'm not going to be able to afford it any time soon, but I am accepting sponsorship.  You know you want to throw money at something that will get you absolutely no returns.  That's totally a great deal.  Totally not a scam.

Honestly, though, these kinds of holidays are really the kinds that I would love to go on.  I'm all up for adventure travel and exploration.  I don't want to be sitting on a beach drinking.  I want to be out exploring, learning, getting lost in places (with a guide so I don't die of exposure and know I will eventually find my way home).  That seems like a proper holiday.  No deadlines.  No phone or email.  Just the company of your fellow travellers, the horses and your guide.

UGH!  IT'S SO PERFECT!

Anyway, in other news, I managed to write two thousand words.  That's the first time I've managed that in a couple of weeks, actually, so I'm pretty thrilled.  The reshuffling of the novel seems to have worked, I guess.  I'm going to try and replicate it again today, but I'll not turn up my nose at any amount that is not my goal.  Remember, it's a game of inches.

In other other news, read this beautiful, heart-warming story of a gamer who raised funds for Trans kids.  It made my morning.

Right, I have to get to work.

Have a great day.

Ciao!
