Hi I'm Vicki and I'm calling this my first NaNoWriMo. (Only because I never really made it out of the starting gate when I first heard about it a couple years ago.) I am a counselor by training and within the last year left my counseling practice to start out on my own working with parents as a coach/consultant. I am also homeschooling my 12 year old...who, by the way, is the reason to commit to NaNo this year. He will be participating this year with his English Co-Op Class and I decided to write right along side him.

I have no idea what my novel will be about but I have a couple days to decide...right? My son is very excited to be participating and has his fantasy/sci-fi plot taking shape. However he won't be participating in the forums because I'm one of those mean moms who follows the rules set out by gmail, facebook and other forums not allowing anyone under 13 to participate in social aspects of the internet... (I know....call the authorities!)
