Planning Mode


I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year, and I'm definitely looking forward to it! I've seen some bloggers kind of deride it, saying that 50,000 words does not a novel make, and while that's sort of true, that's running under the assumption that everyone's just going to be bashing out every word they've ever learned to make the goal. And while I'm sure there are people who are gonna try that, there are so many more who are going to sit down and at least start a novel. It's a good jumping-off point, I think.
I don't know, I can't form too much of an opinion, it hasn't even started yet I'm just in planning mode for my novel.
Anyway, if you're doing it this year as well, or if you've just now decided to give it a try: wanna be buddies?

Oh, Look!

I've been published! It isn't much, just the blog of a local environmental group, but still! Go check it out if you're interested in why I love biology, and why I think education is so important for ecology!
