Dedication

For my grandma, Becky Downstairs

who dreamed I wrote 200 pages of my nano and still hadn't decided on a topic

and came up with a new idea for every paragraph I wrote

Special Thanks

Thanks especially to John Barrowman.  An apology is due.

Thanks to JoAnne, for volenteering to edit.  A month before she even knew about nano.

Thanks to Bertie, for listening to all my ideas.  And not crying too much when I changed my mind at the last minutes.

Thanks to Bob, for caring how the first day went.

Thanks to Ed, my grandpa.  For carpooling with me so I had an hour before work to write.

Thanks to Manon, who had a site of random generators that really come in handy sometimes

Thanks to ... wait, does anyone else feel that I'm writing this so it will take up a large chuck on my 50 k?
