NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

I definitely agree with Orson Scott Card being included. I've actually had the pleasure of meeting him in person, and he's incredibly kind and generous. :)

To drop another few names into the hat...:

Dan Brown
David Baldacci
James A. Michener
J.R.R. Tolkien
Kim Harrison
Laurell K. Hamilton

I've made a deal with my sister that if either of the last two (who are her favorite authors) write a pep talk for this year's NaNo, she's going to do it, so I'm especially pushing for their inclusion.
