That lecture sounds absolutely fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing it. Funny, when I started reading the rules, I was thinking, 'Huh. Nano!' as well :D

Speaking of nano, I'm trying to resurrect my novel from last year and have set up a writing filter on lj. Want to be added?

I've been too busy, I really want to import lj over here and fiddle a bit but somehow real life keeps getting in the way... enjoying reading your entries, though.
