Fun fact: I took the name Roland from the Wikipedia page for Paladin. That’s why that name doesn’t suck.

I like the choice of character name harkening back to the nephew of Charlemange, or meta-harkening. In a related note I’m going to be visibly disappointed if Roland’s sword doesn’t turn out to be named Durendal. This isn’t really a legitimate threat, unless you plan on visiting Purdue in the very near future, I just wanted to make it anyway.

Now back to being productive on my research proposal and not getting distracted by shiny and/or jugglible objects. Hey what’s that over there…

That’s right, I’m writing a fantasy story for NaNoWriMo, and I’m titling it “Appendix A”. Deal with it.

The fact that my writing speed shot up once I got out of Roland’s storytelling is promising, since the latter portion is much more indicative of how the rest of the story will be told.

My “official” NaNoWriMo word count will increase once NaNoWriMo’s servers decide to stop being powered by fail.
