Ooh yeah, it’s ON people! National Novel Writing Month 2009 has commenced with a bang – Write-In at Erica and Badger’s went swimmingly, with some impressive starts from the Intergalactic Space Fuhrers (that’s our NaNoWriMo gang.)  We even have a NaNo cherry being popped this year in the guise of Amy, who blew the wordcount out of the water today to the tune of nearly 600 words over par, and good words they were too.

Amy’s stealing our dreams in her story, while Erica’s writing a squirmingly erotic fiction (a personal challenge with plans of publication thereafter.)  Another fabulous scifi from Derek, re-introducing much loved characters from last year, and a series of short stories from Badger.  Kelly’s exploring free-flow-fiction, whizzing from girls blowing soap bubbles to some kind of scary post-disaster scenery, and I’m intrigued.

As for me, my story seems to be centering around a girl called Anna, or Anushka, for now.  Who knows where she and her fellow characters will take me this year.  But I’m prepared for some ass-kickin’ action, Matrix style, and lots of nifty funky futuristic scifi tropes along the way.

But what am I wasting my word count on here on a blog post? Further In and Further Up! See you in December!
