I heard that Lee is working on a special thesis proposal for the month of Nibsvember as part of NaNoWriMo - hopefully the forest bears won't be too distracting with all of their shenanigans.
I also heard that Schlop is undertaking his own version called NapNoLeeWriMo which stands for Napping in November while Lee Writes Month.
Good luck to both Lee and Schlop!
