Author bio:
I joined NaNoWriMo at the insistence of a friend in 2006 (she'd been bugging me for a while), won that year in word count even if I never finished the novel.
I didn't join in 2007 since I took a job as a manuscript copy editor and didn't think I could edit all day, then come home and turn off my inner grammar freak to write.
Won in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011, again on the word count technicality---too much world building, I think. I'm back again as co-ML this year, still looking to reach that elusive "Finis" and still looking for ways to make NaNo fun (more fun) and crazy (crazier) for Asia::Philippines.
