“More than iron, more than lead, more than gold I need electricity. I need it more than I need lamb or pork or lettuce or cucumber. I need it for my dreams.”

Today is the first of November, which means it's the start of NaNoGenMo (National Novel Generation Month) [1]. I finished one novel (The Quantum Supposition of Oz) [2], had one collapse in on itself (THE PSYCHOTHERAPY OF RACTER OR THE DESCENT INTO MADNESS OF DR. ELIZA) [3], and all the intentions of doing one but missed a year [4]. I hope to do better this year.

I've spent the past few hours coming up with a few ideas (even if one is to just write a program that spews “meow” out 50,000 times) and doing a deep dive into the dark musty corners of my harddrive for resources (I just found a file containing the parts of speech of over 100,000 English words I downloaded (or generated) from somewhere in 2004—wow, useful!), so I'm expecting to have something by the end of the month.
