Okay, I re-activated my NaNo account, thereby confirming my insanity. (For the non-initiates, NaNo is shorthand for NaNoWriMo, which in turn is short for National Novel Writing Month.)

And what’s with all these people with titles, for heaven’s sake? Good goddess! I mean, really Tal – Squirrelman? (What scares me more is that he told me this morning that he had a plot this time. I fear for his sanity. But then again, it’s all about accidental quality, right, Tal?)

I could go the easy way and write the sequel to the 2002 NaNo triumph known as And By Many Other Names, or I could plunge into something new and discover as I go. Somehow, I feel that having a plot before I begin is cheating, for some inane reason. Personally, I’m looking forward to Ceri’s ever-evolving naming adventure – it’s a new title every day!

I will no doubt change my mind in the thirty days which remain between myself and the start line. If, that is, I’m allowed a spare moment to think about November along the way.
