This is the blog documenting my first NaNoWriMo novel, November 1-30 2004. The entire text of the novel can be read here in the archives or by downloading the PDF.
Anyone who wants to download the entire novel at once can get it here: Bibliomorph.pdf (348k). It contains the pure, rough-draft, month-long version. Some day maybe it will be edited, but probably not soon.

This is my first shot at writing a novel. My regular blog is WhistleDance.net.
Title: Bibliomorph
Author: Graham R. Waldon
Summary: A magic notebook, a mysterious collection of books beneath a library, and
a young man who must accept a power he didn't know he had. I'll figure out the rest as I go along.
Word Count: 50,895 (11.29.2004)
Goal: 50,000 words (11.30.2004)
Seamus Gilbert: 23 years old, recent college graduate. Plodding through various temp jobs
while he figures out what to do with his life. Volunteers at the library, where he finds the book that starts everything.
Gabriela Mendoza: 8 years old. Comes to the library sometimes because her mother works there.
Friend of Seamus. Will probably need rescuing at some point.
Cassidy Martin: A junior in college, CS major. Finds a book like Seamus' and gets drawn into the same adventure.
Big Jake: More than what he appears to be, which is the homeless guy outside the library.

Hi Mr. Waldon!
At last I read the whole of this story. At first the pacing is TOO slow, although you have done well in describing everything to make me still try to continue read (more likely based that I read a few words on the last chapter, which makes me curious).
I would say this story shows your excellent creativity. I envy of how you could work it out together with your casual days, I'm spending all my times on writing+reading+learning but my stories still not as original and unbelievable-imaginative as this one.
With a bit fix on the beginning, I'm sure you could sold this out. It's not the matter of money anyway, but to make more people read this.
Might I suggest two more things: lengthen the fights and remove the intimate part (because I think this fantasy have most readers teenage and below).
And anyway, if you have another story.. I would love to read them. You can email me on arutema@gmail.com
Thx
regards,
Rosiana
