I'm past 37k on my NaNo. Holy carp. Crossing my fingers, but... dare I say it? In a few weeks I might have an ACTUAL FINISHED COPY of an ACTUAL FINISHED NOVEL to start editing. A rough draft, to be sure, but... HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP LIFELONG DREAM ETC. Cross your fingers and toes for me, and wish me lots of luck!
Reading
Mindhunter. It's... weird. You can see the ghostwriter taping the (admittedly interesting) ramblings of an old guy and trying to make them legible. Meanders, it does. I'm hoping there are some actual serial-killer-hunting techniques to come, but so far it's mostly been memoir (as in "I was born..." memoir).
Previous read was
Mindscan, by Robert Sawyer. It was really interesting. I definitely recommend it.
...I really, really need to buy a new laptop. I've been in this PC-bang for like five hours now. Ye gods, it's like my first year again.
