I've looked into it a little more, and it seems I'm okay to sketch out some characters and make some decisions about the story prior to actually writing it. To that end, I will get some preliminaries done this week. Once they are prepared, I'll be posting them here.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Certainly this is the most ambitious writing project I've attempted since I began writing again, so it will be interesting and hopefully not overly derivative.

In what is perhaps a remarkably foolish move, I have created this site and this BLOG for the express purpose of participating in National Novel Writing Month.

In preparation for this task, I've created no plotline, no characters, and have no idea what genre or even what basic setting (time period, city, or whatever) to use.

When the first letter hits, it will hit brand new and incomplete searching for more letters in order to create the first word of 50,000.

Quite frankly, it is Anything Can Happen Month here in the brand new Gryphon's Aerie.

Wish me luck -- I'll need it and some serious drugs to make it all happen.
