Like a big slinky cat. It snuck up on me while I wasn&#8217;t looking.

So, it didn&#8217;t catch me completely off guard. I mean I was intending to write a novel anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I picked one that I was chomping at the bit to do, and entered the info into Nano\/&#8217;s watchamakallit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s official. I&#8217;m in for this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering what happened to the lovely novel that I supposedly finished for last year&#8217;s Nano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer will be in a future blog post. I don&#8217;t want to go off on tangents. Though I have written about what&#8217;s up with the Neptune Novel elsewhere. I can&#8217;t remember what I said here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t matter. Here&#8217;s the important part&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I  have prepped Nano for the new novel. And I will post here as it comes along to let you know how it&#8217;s going. In a future post I will update you about the space one from last year, and I have a series of short stories coming out soon. I&#8217;ll drop a few breadcrumbs here as those unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, lots of holidays coming up. Today is Halloween! Happy Halloween!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now, kiddies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another year has rolled around. Like a big slinky cat.
