Well, I've called the whole NaNoWriMo to a screaming halt. Well, not the whole thing, just my part in it. Why? Well, honestly, I found the approach to be quite distracting.

Mo Blah fer Ya...

Steampunk
I've been steeping in Steampunk literature since at least April of this year. This has served a multitude of purposes. One. I really dig reading the stuff. I've been enamored of the genre since I first learned of Deadlands back in '99. In an attempt to win a steampunk novel from Tor, I describe why I loved the genre ( Read more... ) -
