I feel like all I've been talking about is NaNoReadMo lately. So sorry to all of you who are on FB and read my blog on Skai Photography, because this is like the fourth time today I've posted about this.

But if you're still new to NaNoReadMo (Dec 15th - Jan 15th! 4 Books, 4 Weeks!), I am currently doing a reader photo thing in Tucson. That is, throughout the next month, I'm hoping to find readers, ask them a few questions about what they're reading right now, take their photo with said reading material, and then post about it both on Skai and the NaNoReadMo blogs. Part of it is because there's a lot about writers - which makes sense, they do all the work - but very, very little about readers. And I believe a celebration of the reader is in order.

But not just that. I am actually really curious to see what I find out, who I meet. So I'm looking at my two Tucson locals on my friend's list - do you guys know any readers who'd be willing to do such a thing? :D

I live with a pretty avid reader; I can ask him. Jeff might also be a good option. If you want, I can also ask around school and get a kid or a staff member or three to volunteer. :D

Yes, yes, yes! :D
I hadn't thought about Jeff, even though I'd had that conversation with him about books right around when we met. Hmm.

Hey, Scott said, "Sure."

So if you want to interview my husband, feel free. :D

Sweet! Do you think he'll have time tonight or tomorrow night?

Possibly tomorrow night...

I'm willing, and B probably would be too ^_^

(thanks for the plug on the community!)

Awesome! I will shoot you an e-mail. :)

Have you considered recruiting readers and photographers in different regions to contribute?

You know, I hadn't. I've been trying to focus small/locally and on what I can do myself, but that sounds like a good idea. Would you be up to photoing a few readers for Seattle? Or did you have someone else in mind?

I actually didn't have *anyone* in mind, but I'd be happy to go about it!

And...now that I think of it, Kyle might be up for going about this, too

I forget to ask - I'd send copies along to you for the NaNoReadMo page, yes?
