for inspiration:
Rodman Philbrick wrote:I never had a brain until Freak came along and let me borrow his for awhile, and that's the whole truth, the whole truth. The unvanquished truth, is how Freak would say it, and for a long time it was him who did the talking.
-from Freak the Mighty (my favorite book ever)*


...and now mine:
Meep wrote:The seventh son of a seventh son, Meriwether MacNaoimhín, Esq. did not have very good luck.

My first NaNo sentence ever:

[b]The computer lab in the science building was unusually messy that day. /b]

Kind of bland, but I really couldn't be happier with my progress so far!

Must resist urge to edit and make it sound less awful...

Throughout Grandeur there was the hiss off scorching steam, and the rattling of half-rusted pipes, the normal mass frantic movement of crew throbbing through the corridors, laden with coal, spare parts, some rolling barrels of water down echoing steel ramps.

I keep saying things are rusted when I really shouldn't.
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)

Somebody call in the Puritans, quick!

Duskglimmer, that's a pretty excellent way to start a novel. Be sure to share it with us, ne?

... and Your Highness, King Kamor, it's much better than the first line of my first NaNoWriMo attempt. :)

From the hilltop, they could see mist begin to shroud the towers of the palace that was off in the distance, wrapping itself in a protective embrace around them like a blanket around a baby.


Not sure how well that really works, but eh. I can always rip it apart/change it later when I get this thing finished.
