I was just joking, but seem to have been taken rather seriously. No offense intended, to Australians or to anyone else. An international endeavour seems more idealistic in any case. Hm.

I showed it to my wife who is NaNoWriMo-ing for her first time, and she went through the back-posts of both Justine's & Scott's blogs and found some of the tips fairly helpful. She did 4000 words today and she's pretty proud of it. Of course, she's still behind a bit, but not as much! John, thanks for this post.

Why do you think we export it to you lot? We keep the good stuff for ourselves (Coopers Pale or Sparkling, for mine) , and you, raised on Budweiser, actually drink Fosters, even when no one has dared you to. And today is a day for it; it's been over 30 all week in Melbourne, and it isn't even summer yet. Vaguely on topic: I wish there was an OzNoWriMo that didn't happen in the middle of final-marking season. To Sarcastro @11.
