my characters are passing through your town.

howdy, all. i know absolutely nothing about texas at all, but my story has taken me right through it, and i figured that it would be a better idea to take my questions straight to the source, rather than muck about with the realism forums or what have you.

my characters are two dudes in their mid-twenties, on a road trip from philadelphia to phoenix. they'll be exiting interstate 40 in amarillo, looking for food and a place to stay. where should they eat? anything else they can do to kill a couple hours on a weeknight? and what is the worst and/or most ridiculous hotel that they could possibly find?

you can respond here or via nanomail. thanks a million for the assist, and good luck to you all (y'all?).

Write or Die

Anybody else use Dr. Wicked's Write or Die? Yesterday I strained to write 853 words. It took hours of procrastinating and staring at the last few words I had typed. Today started pretty much the same. Then I was peeking here (in yet more of my procrastinating) and I saw the link on the home page so I checked it out. 1027 word in 46 minutes was a whole lot better than 853 in sixish hours! Working on getting another 2k before dinner.

Thought I would share. :) http://writeordie.drwicked.com/

Tales of Titles

So I was wondering. What are some of ya'll working Titles, and from what genre are you working from. Here is mine:

Working Title: The Starlit Warlock
Genre: Sci-fi/Fantasy

I have yet to create my final title for the novel, but I was hoping to see what everyone has come up with, just to get a feel for our region's dynamics.

Good luck on the rest of the month!

Anyone from Amarillo participating this year? I'm not close, by any means, being about 70 miles west of y'all, but I'm signed up and ready to go. Anyone just needing someone to break the ice, well -- here, I've done it!

Come on -- you can do it, I KNOW you can ;-)
