Anne - FWIW, you might also check out Cicus Ponies Notebook if it's not specifically a writing project. And Yojimbo.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
My writing goal for November is 1k a day, and finishing a short story a week. I did it last year with some success, so I'm hoping it'll go well this year.
Is anyone doing NaNo?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was thinking about it, but more in the way of making sure I spend an hour a day writing than word-count goals.

Because books.
I'm going to be NaNo-adjacent and blog about it. November is the worst time of the year NaNo could be, for me.

I was thinking about it. But I don't know. I always fail! I guess I should already be doing it if I'm going to!

if you do, and don't make it to 50k, you still have a bunch of writing done, right? ::NUDGE:: (t- lookin' at you too)
ALL MUST JOIN ME IN MY MISERY.

Seriously. I think you can make NaNo what you want it to be. My goal is just to blog every day for a month.
If you use it that way, and don't focus on the result, I think it's a great idea. (Or if you play by the rules, obviously.)

I decided to sign up just this morning, Liese! Dooo eeeet!!
Because I need to spark creativity in my life in general. I haven't explored yet, but my username over there is jenbefore.
I have such envy of and admiration for storytellers. You people with the characters, and the plotting, and the world building, and the... storytelling! I just don't even know.

Okay okay! I am so susceptible to peer pressure! None of you offer me any drugs, okay? I signed up. I even gave myself a randomized title. But I don't know how to add you as writing buddies! What do I do?
