NaNoWriMo...

...has started up again. You can follow my inexorable progress towards 50,000 words here. As I mentioned previously, I'll be attempting to write short stories which cumulatively total 50,000 words, out of respect for the still-unfinished novel that I worked on during NaNoWriMo 2002 and '03.

Family, work and NaNoWriMo priorities will probably greatly curtail new postings here at Pete Lit for the next month, other than (hopefully) a celebratory message for a John Kerry victory or (more likely) occasional cynical comments on the looming ballot recount process.

My position on the election should be obvious to anyone who's even casually reading my various postings here. Simply put, John Kerry offers us the best alternative for restoring America's reputation in the international community and offering us a safer, better and more equal future here at home. But regardless of which candidate you prefer, get out and vote tomorrow. It's your responsibility as a citizen.
