Catching up on sleep

skyringI've been shamefully neglecting my LiveJournal entries recently. November has been a busy month for me, what with trying to get "Bookcrossing Through OZ" into a draft format, attending the ABC and writing that up, and then in a feat of wild optimism, doing the whole NaNoWriMo thing in the final ten days of the month.
I've been making a lot of weird and cryptic comments recently. I went to a local meetup of the WriMos here in Canberra ready to chuck it all in as impossible. All I had was the title and a rough idea of the plot and with ten days to go, well, it was looking like a losing proposition. Then I realised that I can write 5 000 words a day with my blog and journal entries on books and mucking about in the Bookcrossing forums and so on.
So I created a LiveJournal and a Bookcrossing account for Ann my protagonist and set to it.
Annuncial on Bookcrossing and LiveJournal, two other fake Bookcrossers WingBearer and ManlyReader and a wildly implausible plot. But I got it done, barely.
Busy now in revising the awful mess that emerged, especially the final bits when I was full of coffee and low on sleep. Want to publish on Lulu in ten days time, and I have to get the first draft chapters up as freebie PDF downloads tomorrow.
