The first week of NaNoWriMo has fled, and as expected, I am well behind where I should be at this point.
Nonetheless, it has been and continues to be a really positive experience, and even though I’m behind word-count-wise, I’m enjoying letting go of the responsibility for quality words and just getting some words — any words — up on the screen.
In the end, I had just over 7,500 words down about my heroine. Still 2,500 short of my personal target and nowhere in the neighbourhood of NaNoWriMo’s 50,000 words in 30 days target.
Tim Rogers from the band You Am I was on Andrew Denton’s Enough Rope interview show this Monday, and he was a delight. Jittery and self-effacing, he gave the overall impression of being a disastrously flawed, yet perfectly whole human being.

10. Any form of evangelism, religious or no
The Edge is opening in three and a half weeks and everything is hugely flat out with tons to do in not much time. Actually, it's been like that for a while. Like since I started in mid-November.
The launch party is going to be awesome. Seriously. But right now I'm kind of looking forward to it because I can't wait until it's over and we can start business as usual here.
If you want to hear from me about it, sign up for the enews because it and the other official Edge stuff is the only think I really have time to write just now!
