What is Steampunk?

An alternative or anachronistic version of the past, often set in the Victorian era or the American Wild West, and incorporating technology or aesthetics inspired by industrial steam-powered machinery, which was in mainstream use in the 19th century.

Steampunk can include or combine elements of science fiction, fantasy and/or horror, making it a hybrid speculative writing genre.

“Science Fiction is the improbable made possible. Fantasy is the impossible made probable.” -Rod Serling

What is NaNoWriMo?

NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month. Each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with 50,000 words of a brand-new novel.
