Despite all useful arguments to the contrary, I've decided to at least play along with NaNoWrimo to write the stand-alone novel "30."
Excerpt (the entire short Prologue) and profile here:

If anyone cares, it's related to 23 and The Funeral Scene (the latter very directly) but will completely stand alone. I outlined it last summer and have just been waiting for the right time to dig in. Guess I'm gonna do that. Thanks to Plutad and Angerarara for inspiration.
