writing my Nanowrimo novel thingy. And also an article that I'm feeling a little half hearted about, but that needs to be done if it is going to get done, and soon. Maybe both of these at the same time not such a good idea. But all of the writing ...

Get yer novel on

2009-11-01T11:25:57Z

It is that time of year again! That's right, Nanowrimo time! I've signed up again, and again I have way too much on my plate so I'm not sure that I'll be able to finish... but hope springs eternal, and I said the same thing last year, the year be...

on the road again....

2009-09-28T11:14:23Z
