I just want to point out that your post makes no sense and therefore makes it difficult to figure out whether or not one fits.

At sunset, I heard the soft parade (of a thousand words, of course!) just coming. They were a dead ringer for love, and even though I'm not writing romance, I took them out of the frying pan, and into the fire: I gave them one more kiss, then plunged them into my mystery. Some of them - 333 to be exact - had a bad attitude, and they dashed away. But I kept the other 667... and two out of three ain't bad, right?

So are the rest of you writing intensely melodramatic novels with emotionally tormented, larger-than-life main characters who live in Gothic mansions with dangerous women, ride their motorcycles recklessly, and wear their unrequited loves and losses on their puffy, heavily-embroidered sleeves?

You're not saying anything about the length of Jim Steinman's songs, now, are you? :)

I like Steinman's songs and all, but they just don't have enough motorcycles, waves, beaches, angels, & banshees in heat.

Yeah...
Such a clean cut, quiet, *Nice* boy, that Steinman...
It is too bad that nothing over-the-top ever happens in his songs.

By the way, Elfwriter, am I reading your profile correctly? This looks like your first nano win? Congrats!

Thank you! Yes, it's my first win.
I'm tired, so I can't think of anything Steinmanesque or Meatloafian to say about that, but...
After twelve years of writer's block, and thinking I might not be able to write again...I couldn't be happier.
I see you've won three times! Congratulations!!

Hmmm. I didn't get that one..? (The two in one)
But I see there's a new Meat Loaf album that's supposed to be out in April of 2010. (However, I don't think Steinman is involved with this one, since they weren't getting along too well a few years back.)
