Hello, everyone.

I'm just getting around to introducing myself eight days in, but it's better late than never (am I right?)!

My name is Amanda, and this is my fifth year attempting NaNoWriMo. Maybe it will be the year I finally win, but I doubt it! I'm in my second year of graduate school, studying political science, and everyone in school knows how messy things get in November. For example, I have two research projects due at the end of the semester (early December). I'm still going to try my best, though, as I have for the previous four years.

This year I am working on this plot bunny that popped into my head this past spring and just wouldn't leave. It's a post-apocalyptic zombie novel, which is a first for me (usually I stay in the high-or-urban fantasy realm). Another first for this novel is the fact that it is a first-person narrative. It's going pretty well, considering how little time I've actually had to work on it.
