Ahh, a good Squeeeee is always fun, although it does hurt poor Dave's brain.

I'd say for NaNoWriMo (which is generally a bit crazy/silly in some ways) maybe try one of two approaches: one, write the first chapter or two (a thousand words or so?) of each story and see which one appeals to you more and really takes off; or two, smash them both together and make it a modern near future sci-fi fantasy story full of demons and magic, with a liberal sprinkling of swordplay and a little bit more magic! lol

No crowbars, no power armour, and I'm fairly sure the work I'm doing at the minute is actually harder than staging a guerilla movement against alien overlords. It's topological quantum computing, and it's actually more awkward than it sounds.
Hmm. topological quantum computing already sounds pretty awkward. It's too bad more real-world problems can't be solved by staging a guerrilla movement against alien overlords.
