As I left off in the last post, the novel does promise to be brilliant. Disjointed, non-sensical, clumsy, and immature, but brilliant. I hit 28,020 words today. My favorite quote from today's output is:

"So look, I'm an honest tax-paying citizen now. Actually I've always been tax-paying. The honest bit is new."

Andi and Kineke are working out some ideas for my web site, and doing a phenomenal job. The test page is here:

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.

I am a writer. I have always been and will always be a writer. The fact that I have spent almost 20 years in the development, marketing, sales, and implementation of IT systems is simply a clever ruse on my part to mislead the forces of evil.
This blog means that I am published. It does not mean that anyone has actually paid to purchase a manuscript nor that others have paid to read it; but that is a minor point that would only be voiced by the terminally pedantic.
The regularity, length, and quality of the texts found here will vary. Widely.
But I don't care. I'm published.
