And they're off ...

Good luck to fellow Nanoers and it might amuse you to know that Today, BBC Radio 4's flagship news programme, had a feature on Nanowrimo this morning.

They had even got Ian Rankin [UK's no. 1 crime writer] and Frederick Forsyth [Day of the Jackal] to discuss it. It's no real surprise that Fred was very dismissive of the whole idea and hurrumphed away about standards and quality but Ian Rankin thinks it's a class idea and a brilliant way to get first drafts done.

Any how - so far so good:



And because all kinds of pirates are fun:

Wishing you all the very best with the writing challenge! Looks like you are off to a great start and yes, (fictional) pirates are always fun. :0)

Yay for being off to a good start!

And I love Abney Park. There's a tiny little pirate dancing along with them, too...

Glad to know Ian Rankin's classy; I like his stuff.
