A cool idea popped into my head this morning for this year's NaNo. We'll have to let that one percolate in the background while I try to finish up this short story that has suddenly grown. I initially figured it would be a 5K short story, or thereabouts, and it's ballooned to 15K, with a whole lotta writing left to do. So, we'll see what happens.

Oh! And a short-short I wrote is going to be published in Behind the Wainscot (the sister online publication to Farrago's Wainscot). I'll link to it here as soon as it's live.
