It's November 1 which means that "NaNoWriMo" -- National Novel Writing Month -- is officially underway.  Like many other writers, I lined up at the starting gate precisely at midnight, eager to begin a new romance.  I especially enjoyed the opportunity to turn back the clock and gain an extra hour.

I haven't updated my word count on the official site yet, but I'll head that way and do it soon.  For now, I just wanted to post a short note to recognize the official start of this momentous event.

I'm there -- Christina Cole -- so if you're participating in NaNo, be sure to add me as a buddy. 

Good luck with your novels!
