Oh dear, it is well past the halfway mark of ye olde November, which means we are 18,000 Nano-words behind, which means it is TIME FOR CHEATING. Here is some fine Nanowrimo manuscript-padding advice in convenient and easy-to-digest Tweet form (a part of us just died as we wrote that) from Famous Writers, courtesy of the very erudite staff of Inkwell Bookstore Their blog is mad fab also. Go read it. WE TOLD YOU INDEPENDENT BOOKSELLERS WERE CLEVER. Being a belligerent Marxist anti-racist feminist doesn't mean we are WRONG. Mmm hmmm.

You're a Marxist?
I thought red washed you out.
Not when it is THE BLOOD OF OUR ENEMIES. Hee, hee, hee.
I find the blood of my enemies makes a great facial.
That Inkwell post is the funniest thing ever.
Is it not? DELIGHT!
So today would be a great day to send you a query letter, right?
Oh, today we have had our COFFEE and all our SNACKS and we are still laughing about that delightful POST from our inkwellian friends and we ate some babies for breakfast and YES IT IS AN EXCELLENT TIME TO SEND US A QUERY, AUTHOR-FRIENDS, especially if you are a smart and foxy INDEPENDENT BOOKSELLER.
Hell, I was only kidding, but since you asked...
AHAHAHA! Okay, that was great fun :).
By "blood of your enemies" do you not mean "crimson liquid life force of your most atrocious nemeses?" +5 words!
Is one of the tips "quote extensively from other people perhaps to the point of plagiarism"? Because if not: dibs on that piece of advice.
In other news, my NaNoWriMo novel is a million words. The working title is War and Peace.
Shit. Inkwellian sounds much better than Inklingsian. I'm jealous.
And I can send me a query?! I can do pretend smart. Totally. Though I'm not sure anyone's ever exactly called me "foxy" before. So, where do I send it? Oh! I know, I can just send it to EVERY SINGLE literary agent on the continent! Then it will surely reach you.
Oh God, too funny. Side hurts, eyes tearing up, great advice for my NaNoWriMo, was pulling out my hair. Thanks, I needed that, it was like a quickie, short and sweet, no foreplay, straight to the point.
Right, so I'm on the express train that goes right to hell for laughing so hard at the NaNoWriMo Jesus thing. Screaming awesome...
Oh, the things that make my day :)
Hey Me, too! I once had a parent of one of my students call me a "Commie Bitch" because I wanted all the kids to be treated the same AT SNACKTIME.
Yes, yes, harsh, I know. I deserved it. :P
Awesome!!! :)
