I love your comics. Keep them coming. I’m eager to see how the date (if you can call it that) will come out. I’ve subscribed to my blog from my Akregator (a web feed aggregator for the KDE desktop environment) at home.

Here’s a little about me and my perspective of NaNoWriMo (if you don’t mind me touting my own horn.)

The last november I was not as conscious of NaNoWriMo as I am now, but still ended up writing a short technical E-book/essay about optimising code for speed after receiving a lot of positive encouragement from someone I’ve been talking with on IRC and Instant Messaging.

This novemeber I’m hoping to make some progress with some of
my stories (novellas usually) and screenplays, and maybe finish a few. I’d rather not sell out to the NaNoWriMo “Quantity over quality” thing because I feel that I’d rather write some relatively short stuff well than a lot of low-quality stuff. Even at high school, I answered succinctly and “laconically” in the questions of the humanities studies, which resulted in low grades. I have an idea for a series of books of what I call anti-fantasy, but I feel the idea is not mature enough and that I may need someone to collaborate on it because I’m bad at writing fantasy (or in my case “anti-fantasy”) action.

I should note that a year after that “code optimisation” article I have decided to dedicate some type working on a catalog of software optimisations for which I made a call for in the original article. In any case, have a nice NaNoWriMo and I hope you don’t mind to take the rest of the year to polish the novel.

(And I hope that it wasn’t a too computer geeky).

THANKS!
