Nanowrimo
I wasn't sure if I was going to participate in this neurotic funfest for another year, but I just signed up and my name's on the author list and I can't back out now because anything less than 50,000 words in my profile by November 30 would be a complete failure and an embarassment to my family name (well, one of them).
And, also, I don't know how to unregister.
My story plot this year is inspired by the combination of Maine (the state), wondering how to scam the poor kids in very poor countries who try to scam tourists (strike first, I say) and the incredibly real town of St.-Louis-du-ha-ha in Quebec, Canada. And now I'm listening to Celine sing a love song to a très très gay boy named Ziggy.
This story is going to write itself.
And not to toot my own horn, but... oh hell, why not? Toot Toot. I've done Nanowrimo since 2003 and have won every year, including last year when I got my story printed for free. All winners can get a free copy from a vanity press without buying advances so it's extra incentive to be a winner. I'm a winner. That's what Cylinda tells me (sometimes).
