I have decided to write a novel this month. What the heck, with all those ideas buzzing around in my head, why not just sit down and do it?

So I sat down and I'm doing it. Truth be told, in order to give additional incentive to my efforts I have signed up as part of National Novel Writing Month--details can be found at www.NaNoWriMo.org.

Which novel, you ask? Ah, the one about the technophobic private eye round about the year 2015. Brilliant, I promise.
