About me

I'm Tim Yao, aka NewMexicoKid, co-Municipal Liaison for the Illinois::Naperville region of National Novel Writing Month and founding member of the Journey, our year-round writing group that has published its own short story anthologies. With firebus, I helped develop the original wordcount API (wcapi) for NaNoWriMo.
