Patron Saint of Falling Over Things

There's a test post for my NaNoWriMo filter, here on Dreamwidth and on LJ. If you can't see the post, you're not on the filter. If you'd like to be on the filter, let me know and I'll add you.

What can you expect on this filter?
- Me, posting my NaNo wholesale and unedited. It's like raw milk: spurious health benefits, but more likely contaminated with semi-colons.

- Random historical/geographical/medical facts. Watch me do my research on the fly, even though I've had a whole year to do it!

- No obligation to read anything! You are an audience, and your mere existence is enough to keep me posting.

- No obligation to comment, though all comments are welcomed and valued. Possibly clung to and answered lovingly as I procrastinate and deny that there is a word count.

- word counters, banners, magic buttons and picspams.

- possibly some long, scary silences. Perhaps some weeping.


This year, the project has the working title of "Victorian Boarding House of Together We Solve Crime". (Catchy, right? RIGHT??) I have... not planned the ending. I am planning the ending right now. It may yet be a disaster. But it may be a triumph! (Right?)
