Firefighting and novel-writing

Today involved pretending to be a firefighter. Fires were lit in bins outside the building and colleagues were given fire extinguishers to put them out. No fires were left for me to extinguish, so I had to extinguish an imaginary fire with a CO2 extinguisher.

NaNoWriMo starts on Monday and I am excited, despite lack of plot, ideas, the usual things you might need to start a novel. I am hoping it will let me spend a month immersed in a dream land, imagining other places, other people, other happenings. There will also be a reality with other people also frantically imagining such things, and I like that bit too.
