November is National Novel Writing Month. I missed this epic event last year; not this year! I plan on wearing out my keyboard with mountains of knee-jerk prose. My novel won’t be posted on this site–it has its own dedicated site, which will be linked to from here starting on the first day of November. I’ll do my best to finish even if the last chapters are petulantly dry dialogue centred on an obfuscating pervasive nonsense with no true sense of reality; actually, that might be pretty good… If you enjoy writing, have something to say, or are afflicted by a bizarre sort of masochistic desire to develop carpal tunnel, I urge you to sign up.

So you’re a fan of Chuck Palanhiuk, too? I thought I was the only one.

he shakes his head smiling with a slightly confused gleam in his eye–”I don’t want to ruin it, but I have never read Palanhiuk”

i’ll scroll down if you ask,
but i don’t like it. sigh.
Chuckers? Well! He’s a fast read– 3 or 4 hours at best; however, he is a bit Hollywoodish (go figure, hello, _Fight Club_) in his narrative drive toward the end of his novels.
A close eye might be fascinated by his implicit suggestions in the centers of his books (pages 28 through, say, 156).
