Well, I’m getting everything set up for my possibly foolish but exciting attempt at writing a novel. NaNoWriMo is a month long world wide exercise in creative no holds barred writing.
I’ve set this blog up to be a place to let off steam, record my thoughts, and provide a way to record my progress both for myself and for those who care about me. I expect that I may be a bit thrashed as I go through this, and I’m betting I won’t remember how I feel as I go if I don’t record it

I’ll probably record other things as I go. Thoughts on systems administration, on leadership, on religion, on politics, and on anything else that interests me. Hopefully, it will keep me sane through November.
