			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Which I am NOT doing this year, by the way. I will probably have to wait until Eli starts kindergarten before I can commit to something like that. (Eli in kindergarten&#8230;only 2 years away&#8230;where does the time go??)</p>
<p>However, I thought I&#8217;d provide links, for those who are interested, to a series of NaNoWriMo tips that a couple of YA authors have been posting on their own blogs, and will continue to do so throughout the month.</p>
<p><a href="http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/?p=1822">Scott Westerfeld&#8217;s blog</a> : Just keep clicking the top right link to read them all so far. He is tag-teaming with <a href="http://justinelarbalestier.com/blog/2009/11/02/nano-tip-no-2-the-zen-of-first-zero-drafts/">Justine Larbalestier</a>. Their tips alternate days. They are very good. Scott Westerfeld is one of my favorite YA authors (just finished his Midnighters series).</p>
<p>And for Buffy fans, here&#8217;s an interesting essay Westerfeld wrote about the Buffy universe: <a href="http://www.smartpopbooks.com/essay/full/51">http://www.smartpopbooks.com/essay/full/51</a></p>
