I'm having a lot of fun with my novel. I went "Aaaaaarggggh!" when someone suggested NaNoWriMo to me. I've done it a few times and barely produced anything readable, but Monash Drive is pressing my buttons.

Whether I can keep it up is another matter, but so far I can see a few plot arcs developing, and I'm sketching out ideas every hour. New characters are popping out of the woodwork, and the few notes i made a day or so back are already obsolete.

Anne Ounce has made a comeback, but she's put on some weight in the five years since we last saw her.

Anyway, here's the next instalment: http://tinyurl.com/MonashDriveH1

Hi, beautiful!

Missing you.

Thanks for the comments. I dunno. I tried this with Manly Books, but it just didn't flow. Writing that was a lot of fun and the daily deadline kept me going.

But when i don't have a deadline, i put things off and they get stale.

This thing, I'm working little jokes in, making the sort of subtle wordplay that I like, moving the story forward - even if I don't know where it's going. The second chapter was as much fun as the first.

Hoping to get thousands of people reading this and clicking on ads and making enough money that I can get to Kansas City.

Will I see you in Amsterdam?
