Hi, folks!

It's pretty exciting that BookCountry is getting super involved with NaNoWriMo this year. I'm kinda stoked about it! I'm usually lurking around the forums here, but I wanted to come out of the woodworks and get involved here. I'm the ML (regional coordinator AKA Municipal Liaison) for the Canada::Quebec::Montreal region. To help my region members out, I've been writing some posts about planning and preparing for NaNoWriMo. Once November starts, I will be posting daily challenges on my blog and within my region. (I'll try to post them here, too!)
