NaNoWriMo 2011 Re-read and Outline to Commence!

Last year at this time, I'd completely re-read and re-outlined my novel from NaNoWriMo 2010. This year, that stage has gone spectacularly well: I confirmed that my writing laptop has a beautiful sheen of dust.

Good thing I found my duster today!

I guess I've been slightly busy after all:  teaching, clarinetting, thinking about writing. Oh, and going on an African safari!

Yes, those are lions!

But vacation is over now, and it's time to buckle down and kick out the heel-dragger in me. After all, re-reading my first draft has to be better than The Professors' Wives' Club. (I suppose some Goodwill items were meant to stay un-purchased...)  I guess when I spend most of the time contemplating how much better I could write a particular book than actually reading it that it's time for me to get back to my own writing!
