Pardon my gormless expression ... (and today's Nanowrimo request)

... but it is apparently the expression one has after getting only a couple of hours' sleep and then working on Nanowrimo, novel revisions and a big client job simultaneously. I might be slightly incoherent.

I am terribly behind with replying to comments, and I'm very sorry - I'll catch up with them as soon as I can.

I loved reading all the first paragraphs from my Nanowrimo group - there is such a great mix of genres and ideas. I would love to learn one of your main character's names today, what it means, and how you chose it.

Here's one of mine:

Merril - from Merle, meaning falcon - a captive bird of prey that hunts for its owner. I chose her name instinctively, and only discovered the meaning afterwards. It pleased my writerly brain that it was strangely appropriate; Merril is an assassin in someone else's employ.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

P.S. Goodness, that was rambling. Sorry about that.

Nanowrimo: group is super-duper closed now

Hi everyone! Just a quick announcement: I let a few latecomers sneak into the Nanowrimo group today (welcome Surya, Snidder and Priscilla!), but I'm afraid that I'm not going to add anyone else this month. It just becomes too hard for me to keep track of everyone - particularly when it comes to reading all the participants' blogs for my Friday posts.

Good luck, everyone! I hope it's going well.
