Nanowrimo + Kindle Contest
An exciting start to the first day of voting! 13 total votes which is a great turnout in my opinion. It is still close and is anyone’s game.
My nanowrimo book is going well also. I am 800 words into it and only have 49,200 more words to go! The journey ahead will be long, but I am excited to get wrapped up in this wonderful work of writing. The more I write the more I get trapped in this world that I am creating. The book is taking a slow turn to the dark side, which is scary, and exciting. I cannot wait to see the final product.
Keep on voting, 29 days left to go. Help decide the lucky winner of a Kindle 3 Wifi. :)

Musings from Robin Sloan: Most olive oil production at medium-or-greater scale depends on machines of this kind [over-the-row olive harvester]; they trundle over trees planted in long rows, almost like continuous hedges, and collect the fruit with vibratin…
