Emerging from NaNo insanity to wave hello to folks.  ::waves::  Hello!  I'm over 9000 words as of today.  Not too shabby. :)  Although I feel like it's all exposition and somewhat boring stuff.  Maybe someone else would think otherwise if they read it, but it's all theatre stuff so far (My MMC needs a job.) and to me it's all "been there, done that" stuff because, well, I've been there, done that MANY, MANY TIMES.  Still, the characters are having conversations that I find interesting.  That's a plus.  Of course, I still need to figure out who else is going to get hired.  (Turns out there are two positions needing filling rather than one, as I had previously thought.)  I also need a plot.  One seems to be slowly building--something vaguely sinister and suspicious--but I just don't know.  Ah well.  Thank the gods NaNoWriMo is about word count rather than coherence.

In other news, lethlogica has arrived!  She's getting settled in and--She's so thoughtful!--she brought me a NaNoWriMo Survival Kit today:  gift certificates to my favourite coffee shop!  Thanks, lady!  You rock!  :D

Went to Kate's booksigning last night with carrot_cake67, jaunthie, and Sanafi.  We had a great time buying books and getting them autographed, and then hanging out at Rainforest Cafe together eating way too much dessert.  We also helped carrot_cake67 find some fabu jewelry for her upcoming nuptuals.  Yay!
