Watch this space?

Starting November 1st 2007, I will be publishing my progress to my NaNoWriMo 2007 novel in this blog. Although a blog is still not an ideal novel-reading format (you will have to start down at the first entry, tolerate revisions as they come up and similar) it is still more ideal than mixing it in with my old blog.

My novel will be an urban fantasy yarn about issues surrounding homelessness and street life - societal responsibility for its poor and downtrodden, public space, choice, and politics. It will also be about metamorphosis, escape, leadership and hope. Too theoretical for you? All right, it's the story of an alcoholic street girl who has found herself burdened with flaccid, useless wings; and how she gets caught up in the fight for the rights of the street community against political and commercial interests; as told by her imaginary friend.

All readers are welcome, as are comments - but please bear in mind that a NaNo novel is a rough draft, a far cry from a finished product, and riddled with known problems that the writer simply can't find time to edit out. In that light, I appreciate encouragement, but am not likely to find criticism very helpful since I won't have time to edit out the problems at this stage.

Welcome and, I hope, enjoy.
