NaNooooooooWriMooooo!!!!

Whee!  And we’re off to one hell of a start, 2,251 words on Taro and Rafe’s locked-room mystery despite Joss’ importunate wheedling. I stared at the blank screen for a good hour before I decided I’d better go with Taro and Rafe, I’ll have you know.  That, and the fact I worked my full eight […]

Got the sign-up notice for NaNoWriMo today. What?  You don’t know NaNoWriMo?  Go here. And jump in. Yes, it’s my first time.  I never remember until November is well underway.  But this time I signed up for the reminder.
