Daily Intro Post - November 10th - 30th

[alison-sky.livejournal.com]

So, in light that we have been put into the LJ Spotlight for this week, I decided to post one more Daily Intro Post so that all our wonderful new members can have a place to introduce themselves!

So welcome to the community! Reply here and introduce yourself to everyone else. And I hope you have a great time.


also - if this is your first time here, take a moment to look at the following:

2008 Community Rules - read them if you haven't, and please don't post until you have. It makes us all happy, and keeps the ninja squirrels from attacking needlessly.

2008 NaNo LJ'er Regional Friending Thread!

2008 Pimp and Post Thread - talk about your projects here!

Weekly Plot Help Threads - help your fellow community members with their plots!

Daily Word Count Posts - This is where you post your word counts (except your 50K accomplishment, which you get to shout to the world in it's own post for 5 minutes of fame and glory!)

Daily Excerpts - This is where you post snippets from your NaNo to share with everyone. But keep it within the limits!


all these links are available on the profile page as well as the sidebar links in the community in case you ever need to find them.


EDIT: Talking to support now about recovering the Pimp Thread and the Regional Friends thread. Keep your fingers crossed.

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.
