From 0 To 50k in 30 Days…

Reading Glasses

The only travelling I’m doing at the moment (aside from a short break, but more about that later) will be in my head.

Today is the start of NaNoWriMo and I have nothing to go on, except that I’m writing a SciFi romance about cetacean communication, new programming paradigms, shoaling intelligent probes sailing past the solar system and a villain who uses the protagonists’ findings to develop AI—with the best of intentions—that turns out to be the real alien.

Meanwhile, earth is threatened by a series of natural and man-made disasters which provides intreresting background material, in case I get stuck, and also powerful motivation for the inadvertent villain who wants to save humanity from itself.

I’ll be posting occasional updates on my LJ

    Hi Denni, I just joined your Flickr group devoted to salmakki. I saw your picture of everything you bought on line–could you tell me where I can buy salmakki on-line that ships in the US? I am a huge fan. Thanks much.

    Ah salmiakki…

    I haven’t ordered any internationally recently, and the last order I placed was for Dutch salty liquorice. Try:

    …they are very good. Salmiakki is harder to come by, and I’ve never ordered it online, so I guess you’ll have to Google it.

    Londoners are lucky: there are now apparently two Scandinavian shops in town that sell liquorice. Alas, the NaNoWriMo madness has prevented me from checking them out so far. And I’ve also been neglecting my liquorice blog 🙁
