NaNoWriMo Redux

So I didn't quite make my NaNoWriMo goal of 50,000 words last month. But there are two pieces of good news. First, I learned that even if you don't hit 50,000, you still get to go to the party at the end. Second, NaNoWriMo is not over for me -- I'm adding another 50,000 words in December. And this time I have a coach, who is authorized to do everything up to and including taking away all World of Warcraft privileges if I don't meet each weekly goal. Fear is a powerful motivator...

  1. While I'm glad to read that you have arranged for someone to keep your nose to the grindstone on your writing project, it's a little sad to know that I have been replaced as Chief Nag in your life. Oh, well, I guess it had to happen sometime.

  3. Remember when he <a href="http://www.goer.org/Journal/2004/Mar/index.html#11">said</a> he'd post more often, now that he's in his new condo? You don't? Neither does he.

(Optional, but hides your email address)

Are you a spammer? (REQUIRED — you must select "No" to post.)

NOTE: For mysterious reasons, comment posting is extremely slow right now. It can take from 30-60 seconds after you hit "Submit" for your comment to post. However, your comment will go through; you shouldn't need to click the button again.

Comment Syntax

The basics:

  • For a new paragraph, enter two carriage returns.
  • Plain URLs such as http://www.yahoo.com automatically become links.
  • The system encodes all angle brackets and ampersands. For example, if you try to enter a HTML paragraph, the system displays the open tag literally as "<p>".
