Yes…the race that stops the nation (Australia’s Melbourne Cup)stopped this 2009 NANO participant from writing for a short time today.
Shocking – I know! (and ‘Shocking’ I backed. What a horse! What a jockey!)
My excuse for not writing while the race was on was, or course, research.
With my NANO novel having an Australian country town setting (thanks Bronwyn Parry for the inspiration) I figured, why not include Melbourne Cup race day fun – country town style. So I did.
Now it’s back to my own race – 50,000 words by 30 November.

I hope you won lots of money.
I went with the tipsters and lost all mine.

Remember the turtle and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race too – especailly when it comes to writing.
All the best
I'm glad someone had a winner!
Good luck for Nano.
