I bought Chris Baty’s “No Plot? No Problem!” last summer, and I read it cover to cover yesterday. I am pumped. I finally found a good reason to get myself an ipod (my first mp3 player, don’t laugh) and I’m going to go out and get myself a funny “leave me alone, I’m going to be a novelist” hat. I found a friend to do it with, too! I am afraid, but psyched, for November to arrive.

Now I just need to figure out a main character and some interesting plot ideas to keep me moving…
