Yesterday began the NaNoWriMo Challenge of writing a 50,000 word novel in one month. I started yesterday and have written 4,126 words so far. I’m going with the write what you know theory and so far chapters one and two are clearly about me and my life.

At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...
