- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

It's November, and I'm really going to try to 'win' this thing. So I won't be posting much. I've been blaming the granddaughter for my drop in wordcount, but if I were honest, I'd have to include the internet.
Good luck to all participants -- I will be dropping into the Nano site daily to post my wordcount. I'm MLE if anyone wants to add me to their buddy list.

Site is down. Majorly down. One minute I was on the Forums front page and the next I got an error message from Yahoo! On the upside, typing the URL in the address bar now gets me to a page that is blank except for the words "It works!"
Finally settled on my goal. 25,020 words or finish the book, whichever comes first. Working on my contemporary mainstream novel from last year. Made today's wordcount and got some awesome feedback on the first 17 chapters.

The site is back up. Must be a huge number of participants this year all trying to load their word counts at once. I thought I was doing pretty darn well at 2809 words - but Dr. Sarah's way ahead of me at over 4000!
Browse over 5000 historical novel listings (probably well over 5000 by now, but I haven't re-counted lately) and over 700 reviews at www.HistoricalNovels.info

I was only aiming for 500, so I'm quite pleased.
I set aside two hours to write but ended up just sitting there for the first hour and then once I'd got started, I didn't want to stop and ended up staying up way too late. Hope I can get started quicker this evening.
