Author bio:
I entered NaNo in 2005 under my real name and found that held me back. Who knew that most everyone else would have cool nickames? So I followed suit in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. Nailed those 50,000 words in 30 days or less 6 times. In later participations I wrote only on some of the days. Now I'm back for a eighth go because I want/need that 7th winner's cert to frame. 6 was never my lucky number. This might be my final go, or I might be addicted to NaNo. Time always tells.
