Brief Author Bio:

Writer, coder, doodler (but not an artist), maker of musical noises (but not really a musician), etc, etc. These are a few of my favourite things, but I'd rather not have to get bitten by a dog to think about them.

I'm working on a WIP and writing short stories this year (only words towards the WIP novel are counting towards my word-count). I'm finding it harder in many ways than writing a novel from scratch; perhaps that's why NaNo usually sticks to making a brand new work of fiction, but I am enjoying it. Just because something's harder doesn't necessarily mean it's less fun!

So far, also, I've finished, edited and prepared one short story for submission; I have one or two more noted down, one of which I'll be starting on soon. I put out one more in the build-up to NaNo, and I'm hoping to put out at least a third before NaNo ends; 2009 is being a wonderful year for my writing so far.

(And for the curious..."Doctor Jest" is a fairly sadistic character from books by Moorcock. I can't claim to like the character much, but I did like his name!)
