Steve,

I seem to remember reading somewhere that you wanted NaNoWriMo participants to mention somewhere that they were writing in Storyist.

Mention that where, exactly?

- Thoth.

Yeah. I think the clincher was Isaac agreeing with me that there just wasn't enough time to write 50,000 words in a month. I think we're right but I love (or at least tolerate) a challenge.

The bad news is that some teenage girl from Utah took my name. Grrrr. What is it about teenyboppers from Utah and ancient Egyptian gods? Kids. Go figure.

So I'm using my porn name: my real middle name and the name of the street I grew up on — Edward Jessup.

The good news is that I know exactly what I'm going to write and you, my friend, are the antagonist. Well, a facsimile of you anyway. In fact the whole gang is in it. But...

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to events or persons, living or dead or undead or resurrected as zombies is purely coincidental. Really.
To anyone who might feel betrayed by my participation: :lol:

Oh, the things I'm going to do to Marge & Percy. May Freud forgive me.

Who did you sign up as? I couldn't find your name anywhere. Not even on the donor page. Curious. Are you anonymous?
Your observant,

Let's just hope we're both still gainfully employed come December first.

Who are you guys signing up as?
I'm Edward Jessup. See post #3 above for an explanation.

Calli, there is going to be a blue four-armed woman in my story named Kali and a wolfman named Isaac and an anthropomorphic mouse named Julius. There will also be two pirates in it. Some bunnies. A protagonist named Marge and her husband Percy. The main antagonist is named Stephen Usher (an usher is a shepherd of people ;) ) who has a transmogrified wife named Tina. Now if I can't find 50,000 words for a group like that then I'm not trying.

50,000 or Bust.
-Thoth.

You've got me beat. All I've come up with is my psycho main character, Kit Klown.

And I just added Storyist.
But I don't see Edward Jessup on your Buddy profile.

Feeling buddy-less.

True. You don't. But if I'm writing I might as well enjoy myself.

Afterthought: Wait a second. Have you examined thealtruismsociety's picture? We may be onto something.
