Hallo! I've been watching and posting to the community, but I'm terrible about introducing myself, so I figured I'd give this a shot. I'm ilex, which is a real-life nickname, but I also go by holly, especially when it involves people writing checks to me :P
This is my first NaNo, as I'm not counting the time I intended to do it and wrote maybe 400 words and decided I didn't have time or interest. I'm really doing it this year, though - I'm almost up to 20,000 words! My story doesn't have a title, or even defined chapters, and so far it's been more just day-to-day character studies. It's basically a trashy romance novel, but even for that, I think the plot is pretty flat. More like a daytime soap opera than a novel plot form. And I'm okay with that! I have absolutely no delusions of grandeur here, I'm at peace with my own suckitude, I'm just doing this to DO it, and to hone my skills at writing in general. Maybe next year I'll do something more novel-esque ;)
I'm a musician, singer/songwriter, and a full time piano technician. *waves*
