I'm in NaNoWriMo again (National Novel Writing Month). It's an open
chalenge to write 50,000 mostly coherent words in the month of November.
This year, as an extra incentive to keep writing and to keep focused on the
story, I'll be putting an excerpt from each days word count on my NaNo
Novel Info page. Take a look if you're willing to put up with raw, unedited
word salad. Feel free to let me know if I miss a day and to give me a hard
time if I miss two or more days.

Now I feel like I'm 3,000 words behind and no time to make them up.
I'm leaning towards sci-fi(Rudy Rucker style) and she's thinking true crime. I paticularly enjoy thinking up strangle loops in time travel and AI. Like strangely temporally displaced evil "robot" things that force the lone crazed AI researcher into building them.

"The Man Who Folded Himself" by David Gerrold I consider to be one of the
classic stories about time travel. Written by a Star Trek author. It's
very good.
Total geekout minutia...
I read this book in college and it blew my mind... I kept promising myself
that I would eventually pick up a copy, but time passed. Then a few years
ago I got the itch to read it again. I bought a copy on ebay. Little did
i know that it was a first edition!! the book was published in 1973. Mine
is in very good shape because the dustflap cover has another plastic
protector over it, but not taped to it.

I loved "To Say Nothing of the Dog." I especially loved the opening, seeing
events from the POV of an increasingly confused mind that doesn't know it's
confused.
I'll check your link after November; no time now.
