My friend Mark Morgan is participating in National Novel Writing Month, a bit of literary insanity in which as many people as possible are enlisted to crank out 175 page novels in the span of a single month. Though I was sorely tempted to jump in and participate, I’ve enough of a self-preservation instinct to realize that would be a pretty bad idea at this point of my life. However, I’m vicariously participating through Mark, whose official progress one can track here. He’s off to a promising start!
