Brief Author Bio:

I'd heard about Nano but did not really investigate the site until 2007. I got to see the paperbook a friend who had participated in 2006 self-published through Lulu and was determined to join the race in 2007. I did not win but enjoyed the attempt greatly. In 2008 I spent the late summer/early fall months reading through forums like "On reaching 50,000" and taking notes. I was so excited I wanted to start in September. I couldn't start Nano but I could start college which I did. So I had a successful start of one day and did not write much further. This year I have enlisted the aid of my feline companions to keep me on track. I figure if they can force me through persistant gestural prompts to change their litter boxes before I get my breakfast they can get me to write. I can't wait!!! >^^<
