Update #1:  My novel The Kwan Factor is up to more than 27,000 words on NaNoWriMo.

Publication News: I’m proud to announce a short story/personal essay I wrote has been selected to appear on the University of Iowa’s Iowa Writes Daily Palette:  http://dp.uiowa.edu/index.php?artwork=3951

Update #2: My novel The Kwan Factor is up to 27,000 words today on NaNoWriMo. I know I said that, right? But I’m so flipping amazed at my progress that it bears repeating.

The shocking tidbit: I don’t hate it! My story, I mean. Astonishing as it is, I think I may actually finish this draft and have somewhere to go with it.

Happy November 12th.
