This year’s NaNo project began taking on a life of its own rather earlier than its predecessors, no doubt because I had good buddy Truant to talk with, and because I got an early start on character interviews. I had the cast in order, names and all, from the version of the story I attempted in 1978-9.

So now, to make it official: here’s the NaNo banner (500 x 100 pixels, compliant with NaNoWriMo signature requirements). A larger version can be viewed here.
