NaNoWriMo soon

Any masochists around here who will be doing NaNoWriMo this year?
I notice signups start in a few days, though of course the starter's gun doesn't go off till 1st November.

For those who haven't a clue what I'm talking about:

I'm going to correct my piece at some point and place it online. (Actually the slightly edited file is already online as a single file. If you want the address I'm happy to give it.) When I've fixed it more I'll link to it from my stories page.

Thanks for the compliment. No problem with not finishing it, I really don't think it's worth reading as it is. I think my piece has some serious problems. I intend to drop a few chapters and make significant changes to a number of others. Even the main rationale for the story may get changed, and so the name too. On the other hand I've been considering breaking it up into a series of short stories, as that's how it reads anyway. Not a lot of editing has been done yet though... [sigh]

It is at

Any suggestions or observations about the story will be very gratefully received. I completely understand not getting time to read such things though. At least now you have the address for some time when you have the flu or are stuck in a waiting room or a train station. :) If, at some time in the future you try the address again and it isn't there, try with a different version number (v03, v04, etc).

Lots of work to do on it. However I've been looking through it again and I'm surprised at how much of what I wrote I still like. That certainly gives me encouragement.

Thanks. :) I love those characters too. I wanted two very sweet people. At the time I was a bit sick of angsty characters.

I've been thinking my next NaNoWriMo might have some pretty screwed up characters... been thinking of some ideas for a story, and it's not a nice one. :)

If you need a beta reader let me know. I'm currently beta reading for a lady who has written a large, complex book with many lesbian characters. It may take me quite a while to finish because I'm trying to do a bunch of other things at the same time. (A simple life?? What's that? :)
