"Rig for silent running!"

(Hrmm, clearly I need me a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea icon... and now I have the capability to do something about that. Muahahaha. But. Later!)

Folks, Nanowrimo time is upon us. Which means that, although I am going to be shooting for only half a Nano this year--i.e., adding about 25K to Queen of Souls, already in progress--a lot of my already limited cycles are about to go into making that push. Which means that I'll most likely be paying reduced attention to my Friends list. I will still be periodically posting, so be on the lookout for such things as BSG commentaries, impending squeeage over the release of A Good Year (which is out in NINE! MORE! DAYS!), and even louder impending squeeage over the coming of Courage and Patience and Grit (TWENTY!). Because really, if there's anything that can make a November for me, it's a new Russell flick and a Great Big Sea DVD!

But reading the Friends list, not so much maybe. So if there's anything hugely critical you want to share with me, better do it in email or via IM.

Oh, but before I go completely dark, I have got to share this link, cheerfully snurched from temeraire_fans, of a page where someone's done some nice Temeraire fan art. I am especially impressed by her depiction of Temeraire's hatching. And gosh, I think her Laurence looks a little familiar. ;)

Anyway, if you're interested in actually following my word count updates, you might glance over on scuzzboppers for short Nano-related upates, or on annathewriter, where I post all my writing updates anyway.
