OK, I'm proud of this
I enrolled in a contest. It's called NaNoWriMo, which stands for National Novel Writing Month.
You have to write an original fictional novel of at least 50,000 words, starting no earlier than November 1, and finishing before November 30. This says it all..

My sincere congratulations. As a frustrated novelist, I look forward to hearing all about this in greater detail.

It's called Baggy Zero Four, and it's a tale about a Forward Air Controler in Vietnam.
It's fictional, but it's also a lot like my real tour. It's runs about 350K (or 170 pages), but if anyone's email supports that, I'd be happy to let y'all read it.

Toxic, I'd prefer you didn't leave it lying about. I'd hate to have somebody pick it up and submit is as his own.
That goes for all of you, OK?
