Progress Rises from Ashes

So here I am, the first real blog I've ever done, but whatthehell, eh?
As far as Progress Rising... My novel, tentatively entitled HADRIAN, is about seventeen pages closer to finished than it has been for the last month and a half.
Oh well, another 200 pages to edit, and another 100-150 to get it to the target 450...
I can't really tell you why I haven't been writing, except that I haven't.

Moohaa
Nanowrimo is a wonderful resource for writers. The forums stay open all year, and there are hardcore writers who love this kind of thing and stick aroung on the forums. There is DGallandro, who is our resident expert on firearms and Aggie80 who is the resident Military expert.


Shit.
Using a friend's character, even for a short period of time(50 pages, max) is almost too much of a hassle when said Character's creator neglects to send me a sketch, so I have to keep bugging him with questions.

Send me the Sketch, Matt.


Anywho, It's Pint Night, and Time for Beer.
...If only I had an expense account, I could write it off as Character Research, 'cause you meet all kinds of strange and interesting Ch(icks)aracters at bars.
