Insanity

I seem to have signed up to NaNoWriMo, because finishing Grass King isn't enough. Oh, no. I'm down as la_marquise, if anyone would care to friend me.
(The project is a supernatural mystery, working title The Drowning Kings, and, umm, it's set in 9th century Wales. Yes, I know I swore I'd never ever do that. But I had this idea, and it's based on a sequence of historical events, and then there was this inscribed stone and, well...)

I am awed... I have written 50K of non-fiction fairly fast before now, but never that fast! I bow before you.

This is unimportant. I'm not sure I could manage 50,000 words of unmitigated drivel in four and a half days. You are still the Mistress of NaNoWriMo.

You'll probably end up having to read chunks of it.

I shall look forward to it!

Go for it! Alas, this will be the first year in a while that I haven't done it... :/ Super fun though.

Well, if there was this inscribed stone then clearly you have to do it. Makes sense to me.

One of my drowning victims turned up on a rock. It was Meant.

It sounds like a really good book idea!

Perhaps I should not say "rock on!" but I just did.

We'll go 'round the bend together. *g*

Sorry, not doing NaNo this year for a change, but please post your progress on LJ. The Drowning Kings is a great title.

Good luck! I intend to have a go at this - but not until I get the thesis finished!!!

Aha, so you're going to start on _that_ one. It sounded most intriguing when you mentioned it.
