Ooh-yeah, NaNo NaNo

And a brief excerpt.

The most important reason not to be living in a trailer with Canopy: she was a prophet. He added the "ess" in his mind. Prophet-ess. She even had a business card:
Canopy Bade, Prophetess
prayers, healings, counsel
Messages From God
Crane View Estates, Number 3
Souville, NC
Preacher Canopy, his dad had called her. And then he'd sent his only begotten son to live with the prophet-lady. In a trailer park.
"Give me one good reason not to live with her," his dad had said.
And Aurelius couldn't think of any. Not one. If only his dad had given him time to think. He had plenty of reasons now. Like, "She thinks God talks to her." That seemed to be a pretty good reason.
"She eats Spam." That was another one.

Of course, this was the most enlightened bit I wrote all month, and the rest of the novel is absolute hooey. I'm not even going to read it until January 1, at which time I, as creator, reserve the right to label the whole project "irredeemable."
