This spring I spent three incredible months on sabbatical in Melbourne, Australia. I puttered around in the State Library of Victoria, met the nicest people ever, and went golfing with a kangaroo.
I am jealous of the Aussies and Kiwis for so many reasons. But tonight I am jealous of them because they are going to start writing in a few hours. Thanks to their forward-thinking choice in continental placement, Australia, New Zealand, and their neighbors will be leading the charge into NaNoWriMo.
I take my hat off to you, my Southern Hemispherical brethren. Write well! We'll follow soon!
