Build Up, Let Down

My son was supposed to have a telephone interview with Chris Baty, but he never called. I'm letting him take care of handling the chasing -- it's a good thing for him to learn, and it's been his initiative. Hopefully he'll be able to corral Chris at some point.

He's got his book down; he's writing up notes. I'm looking forward to writing something, anything, that's not in 1st person. I've got a moral horror/thriller sketched, but I'm looking for something more. Maybe I can write something up in a different genre. Fiction in the real life? It'd be weird not to use SF/fantasy in my fiction writing.

Tonight's the local NaNoWriMo kickoff meeting (as it is in many places); I argued a 12-year-old into the meeting last year; I wonder if I can do it for a 9-year-old this year?
