On your marks, get set....

NaNoWriMo is upon us once more!

This is my first 'serious' year, currently I'm 1036 words into it (wooooo!). That's....better than my first week, from a few years ago. *sob*

So what's my book about?

Well, it's a steampunk novel, but not in the sense that you might imagine.

I'd say more, but at the mo, I only have about an hour and eleven minutes to type another 500 words.
Wish me luck. >___>

Edit: 1777 words! Wooooooo!
