NaNoWriMo Entries
books written in about a month
The National Novel Writing Month organization is dedicated to prompting would-be novelists to get started on the books that they would write if not for having better things to do. Despite my own better judgement, I joined in November 2005--at the prompting of a friend--and, at long last, put a story to writing that had gone virtually untouched for fifteen years. Since then, I have started a new novel every year, so long as I have had ideas.

The original story was meant to be a kind of "cinemanga" [a comic composed of screen captures as though from a movie], but Nano provided a more efficient means of storytelling: the illustrated novel. This edition is the final major revision, periodically updated with subsequent chapters and more images. Additional installments will be finalized, illustrated, and posted approximately once a monthwhen I stop being lazy/ultra-picky about the final draft and illos.
