I'm loving Mamaphonic already!

Just discovered the site yesterday - I think I got the link from someone on the anarchist parenting listserv. I've been reading and reading, and I'm so enjoying it!

I'm 37, a massage therapist, health food store clerk, sex worker, writer, and radical. I'm also a non-custodial mom to two amazing sons, 15 years old and seven years old. I live in central Oklahoma in a communal house with a few folks from my collective. The kids live in central Washington with their father, step-mother, and step-siblings.

I'm gearing up for NaNoWriMo, having taken last year off.

Hello! Nice to meet you. I

Hello! Nice to meet you.

I did NaNoWriMo last year, and actually completed (I was stunned.) Except that I didn't actually complete the book ... This year I can't decide whether to tackle a new idea I have or get off my butt and finish the novel I already have. Decisions, decisions. But looking at the calendar, I'd better make a decision quickly!

If I do NaNo, want to have a thread in which we share the good and the bad? I do sometimes go to the official NaNo forums, but they're kind of a time suck, so I'm reluctant to get heavily involved.

nice to meet you, too!

nice to meet you, too!

i think starting a thread here would be awesome...i agree about the nano forums being a time suck. i like to search the archives there for information, but beyond that i try to avoid them!

i did nano in '03 and '04, and finished both times, and then trashed the horrific novels. LOL this year i'm determined not to trash it, no matter how bad i think it is. one of my housemates is writing this year, too - his first time - and we've agreed to try to prevent each other from deleting our novels unread.

Welcome!

Was any of your peeps out here at the Small Press Expo? (that was in DC, and "here" means Baltimore, some people stopped by to see Atomic Books)
