I can’t remember if I mentioned this before, but I’m the official Municipal Liaison for Dorset. To this end I’ve organised… stuff, but the best part? I got interviewed today by my local paper 
It went really well, and I surprised myself by how much I talked about nanoing, everything I do, and myself generally. I also got in a couple of plugs for protagonize.com and the G3 Show. She seemed really impressed by how young I am compared with how much I’ve written and organised. She was also really friendly, which was good because I was so nervous to start with She said hopefully this’ll be in the paper the first week of November, as she’ll get the photographer to meet me at Borders before the kick-off party.
And so to the new idea. Well, not quite such a new idea, but something I’ve been toying with for a while, that both Andy and the interviewer said I should do over the fiction idea. It’s for a non-fiction book called ‘housework for the engineer’, and is going to be a technical style manual for people like Andy who need very detailed instructions on how to do IRL stuff. This does make me a Nano Rebel technically, but Nano has always been for me the time when I sit down to do what I wouldn’t otherwise, and this is a prime example
We’ll see how it goes I guess. And if I can’t stretch it into 50k words, well I’ll just move on to the other one
