“A writer is not so much someone who has something to say as he is someone who has found a process that will bring about new things he would not have thought of if he had not started to say them.”

Yes it does. November and all the insanity thereby entailed.

We've got a large, enthusiastic crew in the Colorado::Boulder NaNoWriMo forum. (If you're looking for me, I'm vortexae.) We met up at the Tea Spot this past Saturday for a novel-planning meet-and-greet, and attendence was about triple what I was expecting. And everyone actually talked about their novels, too! *Glow* What more could a Municipal Liaison and Forum Moderator want? It's going to be a fantastic November.

Now if only I didn't have two novels to edit and a non-fiction book to finish. Ah, well, nothing wrong with being busy, right?

Speaking of novels, Chapter 11 of Drowning Boy is about where I left it the other day, but cleaner. Editing as I go, and all that. I know where it's going, and where Chapter 12 is going, too, so it's just a matter of allotting time. That may or may not happen tonight; apparently my husband and I have a date with some friends and a game of Axis & Allies. I'll be more doing the heckling thing than the actual playing thing, so we'll see how far into the evening we get before things get thrown at me.
