I do this every year. Even the years that I insist I am not doing NaNo, that I’d be a fool to do NaNo, I am NOT DOING NANO. Still I ponder what I might write for NaNo. This year I want to do it. I miss doing NaNo and I want to do it, […]

“Really, guys? We need four thousand words on Hiro book three and you’re giving me Nemesis bits? I think that qualifies as a mutiny. I could have you all hanged.” It’s fun the things that come out of your fingers when you’re writing like the wind. Sometimes it’s just babble. This happened on the 25th,
