Yet another naowrimo update...

I'm having a really great time with the whole novel writing thing. 

It's incredible to have so many people to lean on, when I really don't feel like writing, and so much encouragement. 

I think I managed to talk one of the women I work with into doing this with me, even though she's a little bit late for the first act.

I'm going to have to re-format the whole thing before I can submit it to any publishers, of course, because the Nanowrimo word counter only accepts text documents, and text won't let me do anything cool with the manuscript.

But I really, truly believe that I'm going to have a manuscript at the end of this thing.  I truly believe that I will eventually have something worth submitting to publishers, and that I can probably talk someone, somewhere, into paying me money for it.  How's that for a step in the right direction?

At the end of the month, we're all going to rush right out, get our manuscripts bound, and mail them around the world to get them all autographed and grafittized, just like a bunch of stupid high school students with their yearbooks.

Funny, somehow, I suddenly feel all bubbly and goofy inside.

Like I'm made of warm caramel.

It is a wonderfully warm and giddy feeling, isn't it?

I truly enjoyed reading the bit you sent me. Umm, where is the next part? You definitely have talent.

*hugs*

Augh, why exactly did I have to fall off the world just when this started happening? Grr. I didn't even get my very clever retort on freedom of speech out first (I had one, it was very clever).

But I'd still like to see what you're writing now, anyway. I've no head for punctuality.
