Hey! My name is tim and I live in Lombard, a little farther than most people seem to be. This is my second year attempting NaNo (the first, I ran out of steam around 20k) and things seem to be going uncommonly well this time. I write my novel in vim, back it up with git, and write over ssh when I'm away.

My novel is about an earth which cheap space travel has mostly left abandoned. The Magic Comes Back, there are Civilized Animals (I'm a big fan of TVTropes), and a character will try to reestablish communication with other towns around the world (just writing this has helped me a ton; I wasn't sure that that would even happen). I I've been derailed by what was meant to be a short interlude about an immortal cat during the Siege of Syracuse.

Some of my favorite authors are Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett (Snuff is waiting in my backpack until I have enough time from writing...), Neal Stephenson (... as is REAMDE) and Ursula K Le Guin. I like computers and punk rock and cooking.
