21:07 It's Game Night Blog Tour Day II on Gar Hanrahan's blog. We talk origins, influences, and hopes: bit.ly/18wlap #
21:10 Just watched Doctor Who. Is it me, or has he gone a bit messianic, in a Tony Blair circa 2003 kind of way? #
22:02 RT @neilhimself: So @mrtonylee sent me a link to the story of How Pudsey saved his life. You should read it. bit.ly/4uJj2S. // Wow!!! #

09:17 On a course, about to learn advanced Excel! Actually quite looking forward to it. #
11:46 The Game Night on Web blog tour has begun! First stop is RPG Gamer.org: bit.ly/BMMuG Please RT #
11:47 We talk about Game Night, Critical Miss, gaming, Doctor Who, and more... bit.ly/BMMuG #
12:44 RT @writersclub: How to write and publish a bestseller. Sold out workshop now has one space due to illness. bit.ly/36ajlJ #
15:16 Best CV (resume) ever! bit.ly/1zppoj (If you're applying to games companies, that is) #
15:21 Stealing @jonnyhodgsonart's art: scummy and cheap. Stealing art he did for Games Workshop: stupid. Very expensive. bit.ly/3YXAUM #
15:23 RT @mollydot: All RPGers should read @jonnynexus's very funny Game Night: bit.ly/3H9tFD 1st chapter funny anyway. Rest will be up... #

07:05 RT @Bobbie42: @wilw Have you ever read @jonnynexus book "Game Night"? bit.ly/3H9tFD // You know, if we all RT this... [evil grin] #
07:13 Status: knackered. Can't face new novel. Worked from 9am to 10pm yesterday on serialisation & launch. Still loads more people to contact. #
07:16 Considering a more focussed & targetted strategy of simply stalking @wilw and his 2.9 milliwheaton's of followers. #
07:20 RT @BlueBirdTail: Advertiser: always one rhyming couplet away from a fat pay cheque || Poet: always one advert away from a debt consultant #
07:23 RT @benjohncock: Oh dear..... RT @caroleagent: 'I have written a fictional novel' no no no no. Sigh ... #
07:32 Does it show that I'm sitting here on Twitter rather than writing? #
07:52 Have stopped twittering. Reading @jessruston's Luxury instead. Will resume writing tomorrow. #
08:54 Thanks to @Entorien and @puthekettleon for the RTs! #
14:05 "A Pratchet-esque debut novel of gods, roleplaying, and game-night kerfuffles. A fun, fresh, irreverent read." bit.ly/3H9tFD Pls RT #
14:27 RT @rentawitch: @jonnynexus # It is very good all. RT bit.ly/3H9tFD Game Night by Jonny Nexus - Go read it! that is all. #
17:27 Okay, let's go play Train Service Roulette, first prize the trip home to Brighton you've already paid for! #firstcapitalconnect #
17:39 And the ball drops into the black - my train wasn't cancelled! Touch wood, so far, the emergency timetable seems to be working. #
17:42 So, stalking @wilw. I used to joke about stalking @jameswallis, now he's my publisher. Then again, Clapham's a bit more local. #
18:41 RT @DomDouzeDom: Loved this book - I've let my friends read some and they have said they are going to buy a copy. Keep up the good work! #
21:31 Thanks to @DomDouzeDom, @iankevinmcdonal and @rentawitch for the RTs! #

12:11 Read the whole of my ENNie-nominated fantasy humour novel Game Night for free on EN World. bit.ly/XC7ev Please RT #
12:11 Obviously, it goes without saying that I'd be grateful if people would retweet my previous post to within an inch of its life. #
12:15 RT @Danacea: Read the whole of Game Night for free on EN World. bit.ly/XC7ev <---if you've ever been a gamer, read this book!! #
12:24 If any of you have read Game Night and liked it, could you please go here and say a few words >> bit.ly/4yEU (Thanks hugely!) #
12:37 RT @Danacea: @jonnynexus book made me laugh my arse off :) #
14:19 RT @Bobbie42: "Game Night", a book by @jonnynexus, is the funniest thing I've read in years. If you were ever a rpg gamer, you have to read! #
18:33 Have accidentally thanked @Morrus for publishing Game Night on EN World by drawing an ascii penis on his site. Bugger. bit.ly/4FYiw0 #
19:18 Thanks to @Danacea @ZehraMustafa @johncoxon @redmole_ghost @6d6Fireball @majic13 @JonnyHodgsonArt @omegar24 @Bobbie42 @writersclub for RTs. #

11:50 Finished. Very windy, and my knee went so I limped the last 3k, but managed 1:06:59, bit faster than last time. twitpic.com/pmc2s #
14:33 This morning I ran 10k. This afternoon, flights of stairs are posing a challenge. I might just have crippled myself. #
14:35 There's nothing like running 10k to show what an awesome achievement running a 42k marathan is. #

14:55 Weather dire; heavy rain and driving wind off the sea. If it's anything like this tomorrow, it'll be: "10k? What 10k?" #
19:08 Bugger! Jules found the envelope containing my race number for tomorrow. Thus dies my last hope for being uncrocked next week. #

09:08 [blog] Do you have a blog? My blog tour now has six participants, but I still have places free. bit.ly/1MRW5T #
12:32 If rain drops are angels' tears they must be having a pretty bad day up there. #
13:27 Overnight, six days after UK2 nuked it, my imap mail reappeared. I guess that's good; be better if they sent me something to let me know. #
17:26 The trouble with depression is you have to put in the hours. #jotd #

07:15 I hate indestructable packaging! RT @wilw: twitpic.com/p6nxt - Please enjoy my new-headset-package-opening fail. #
07:51 I can see the gleaming spires of Croydon in the distance... #
08:33 Stuck somewhere on one of South London's many railway viaducts due, apparently, to a broken down train at Blackfriars. #
13:19 Six days after #uk2 nuked all my imap email while moving their mail server, they still haven't restored it. #ukisps #hosting #epicwankers #
17:34 Result! My train hasn't been cancelled due to driver shortages. Other folk not so lucky. #firstcapitalconnect #

06:57 Brighton, after two days of (now halted) strike by binmen. It will be unburried dead next, I'm telling you! twitpic.com/p350m #
07:57 Bugger! Just checked blog comments and some bastard spammer has broken through the CAPTCHA and deposited 16 turds. Nice. #
08:59 twitpic.com/p3c0n - @benjohncock Yeah, I saw the retweet, and I get the new style of display. #
13:32 [blog] Do you have a blog? Then could you host me on my blog tour to launch the Game Night serialisation and ebook? bit.ly/3vvt0h #
17:25 Very cool. :) RT @Bobbie42: this guy, @jonnynexus wrote a book called "Game Night", which was one of the funniest books I have ever read. #
17:39 Bugger. First Capital Connect train drivers are on work to rule and might strike. I may have interesting travel days ahead. #thameslink #

09:33 Attention #nanowrimo-ers! Get support & sympathy from 2 top lit agents at London Writers' Club, TONIGHT! tinyurl.com/nz9nh7 #
13:41 #londonwritersclub tonight has *changed* venue. It's now at Tibbets (bit.ly/1PCicZ), same time, 7pm start, talk 7:30. #
13:45 Ran 4k on treadmill at gym today. Have 10k race on tarmac on Sunday. 10 - 4 = 6. 6 is a worryingly big number. Currently considering panic. #
17:02 BBCs "Have Your Say" is debating GB's letter writing. I find it amusing that the people attacking him appear to be largely semi-literate. #
22:29 Quite sobering. RT @gmskarka: Publishing numbers--"The Reality of a Times Bestseller": bit.ly/14FkwB. #
22:48 On train, heading home from #londonwritersclub. @BlueBirdTail very informative and entertaining. And met some nice people. #

07:15 RT @ditlev: @jonnynexus your mail will return, being copied over right now. status.uk2.net // Thanks! 1st question had me LOLing! #
07:20 Apparently, losing every customer's email for a weekend and not bothering to tell them was actually a planned event: status.uk2.net/ #
13:06 Today is T-7 and counting. Seven days until my baby, Game Night, is released into the wild. bit.ly/3RD7D1 #
13:10 Finally remembered to pay in advance for London Writers' Club and save myself £5. Anyone else coming? bit.ly/n8OPu #
17:45 At least Gordon Brown handwrites his own condolence letters. That's probably more than any other national leader does. And he is part blind. #
17:46 Donald Rumsfeld didn't even sign his. He had a machine. I'm no fan of Brown, but I think this round of critism is really unfair. #
19:00 Just noticed that the *dog* owned by some new friends of ours has more followers than me. I am a social networking failure. #

15:40 [blog] My Writer's Confidence t-Shirt explained: bit.ly/G2qaK #
17:03 Damn. Adding things to my website, but the narrow column design means I can't fit in any of my banner ads, like: bit.ly/4zsRoe #
17:04 Added a load of pictures and questions to my website's FAQ section: bit.ly/PbYHT #

07:56 Trains appear to obey Boyle's Law. Reduce a usually 8 carriage train to 4 and it ends up feeling twice as pressurised. #
13:46 My ENnie nominated novel Game Night is being published free on the web, in instalments. bit.ly/3RD7D1 Please RT. #
13:49 And there will be an ebook version launched at the same time! I'm rather excited. #
13:50 Oh and finally, I need to thank EN World's @Morrus for hosting the weekly publication project. #
14:32 Awesome! On the front page of EN World, with a lovely great shot of @jonhodgsonart's cover: bit.ly/SuNee #
17:37 Is it me, or is the new free Evening Standard getting thinner? (And thus becoming the soon to be cancelled London Lite). Feels thin today... #

07:08 Light today. Friday, same time, dark. Weird. It's like someone rotated the Earth 15 degrees back over the weekend. #

17:58 Negatives aside, there's no question to which "vote Nazi" is a valid answer. #bnp #
18:16 Hmm... Yes. Still think it's poetic. :) RT @dorward: @jonnynexus "What did people do that contributed to Hitler's rise to power?" :) #
18:17 Mark II coming up! :) #
