Novel Turkey
It has been rumored that the ambivalent novel will not be completed by the deadline of Nov. 30 at midnight; however, after a burst of 5,000 words last night, the novel is almost back on track, and is at least within a plausible striking range. The fat lady has still not sung a note. To the editors of the journal for whom I supposed to be writing a “note,”: Um, sorry. I'd rather write a novel. To the professors who will grade my finals and shake their heads in dismay as they plant my GPA irrevocably in the bottom left of the bell curve: Run run run, fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the stinky cheese man! To everyone else: Happy Turkey Lurkey!Posted November 25, 2004 08:31 AM | NaNoWriMo life generally
Well, I'll be dogged. Congrats! Nothing like a little web rumor to get you motivated, eh? : )

Yes, I am dedicating the book to you for kicking me into gear when I was just about to let it all go. Don't worry, I'll remember the little people who got me where I am today!

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I LOVE the Stinky Cheese Man!
