Forward to the 2006 novel !

But a handful of pine-seed will cover mountains with the green majesty of forest. I too will set my face to the wind and throw my handful of seed on high.

~ Fiona Macleod (a.k.a. William Sharp)

So, November 1 is now 5½ weeks away, and it's time to think again of all things NaNo. First, the quote. YT watched Almost Famous last night, which qualifies by his rules as related to writing. The writer's mother quotes Goethe to Russell, the rock singer who is the man William (the protagonist) can't pin down for an interview. Hunting for the exact wording of the quote, YT came across a better one, more apt for a writer. Fiona/William was quite a character, too, making your Brico bold to be his own self when setting words to the screen.

This year's muse gave the Bricoleur an epiphany on the road - dangerous at freeway speed! In the spirit of "write what you know," YT intends to put keystrokes to a "visionary," comic tale set in a recognizable, if cockeyed, present. Let's see what comes out this time... You, all of my three readers, are welcome along for the journey.
