Well, no, not really. But there's a nice story in our local paper today about NaNoWriMo, which includes some quotes from me and a picture. If you have a sec, check it out!

And LJWorld.com none the less. Believe it or not that's actually the paper that alot of other papers in that area of the country try to model their websites after.

Thanks, all! I like how the photo captures some of my all-time favorite books & authors (including the Calvin & Hobbes compendium). Overall I'm really happy with the article and the picture.

Damn it, I was just gonna mention that. I also spied the copy of Atlas Shrugged and the LotR books, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows and Brave New World. It also looks like there is a Warhammer 40k book? Or am I just imagining it?

Still, pretty awesome article there. Congrats, and good luck on the 50,000 words.

The one book I wish was there that isn't is Altered Carbon. It's currently on loan to a friend.
