I apologize for the dearth of updates this week. Every spare productive moment has gone into my NaNo project. I have a bit of character sketching typed up and posted now, as well as a nice chunk of background data. I’ll probably be linking in some of the other Portland NaNos next, followed by the actual structure of the story postings. (I’m still undecided on “full story” versus “excerpts” posting. Comments are encouraged.)

Just a bit more than a day left before I become a full-on writing powerhouse. Hoo boy.

I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome some new Blogs of Note. Intellectual Orgy has already been mentioned but Mari can stand the encouragement. The People’s Republic of Seabrook provides a witty slice of Lone Star State life in addition to some keen sociopolitical commentary and has become a daily fave of mine. Rounding out the roster is I’ll Say She Is!, another well-written slice of life journal. The Chuck-A-Palooza antics alone are worth the visit.

Let’s put it this way: Unless you want to read my novel (or about the progress of my novel) there won’t be much of interest on this site during November. Dig into these Blogs of Note, dear readers. I wouldn’t steer you wrong.
