Hello from Sudbury, Ontario!

I found this forum a couple of weeks ago while I was reading a bit about last year's NaNoWriMo. I'm ashamed to admit that my own NaNoWriMo novel didn't break the 300-word mark! I probably singlehandedly reduced Sudbury's word count average by a good 1000 words. Well, I wrote for one night, referring heavily to Wikipedia for my subject material (I was looking for an interesting historical shipwreck for a ghost story), then decided the next day that I didn't really care for a ghost story after all. And then I spent a week out of town taking a course, and the whole month was just shot.

For those who want to see the 294 words I finished anyways, here it is:

Anyways, great forum, great advice, and I hope I can make some good contributions myself soon.
