Nah, No Website
In past years there were all those wonderful widgets involved in the NaNo site that allowed me to put a real-time word-count… thingy… in the main page. Well, three days in, and the NaNo server is a molten heap burning its way down a hole that started in some godforsaken data center and is now most likely to end at the center of the Earth. So, I’m forced to do what the entire freaking concept of NaNoWriMo is at its core– improvise. I’ll be putting my most recent progress in the Twitter box up there at the top of the blog front page, and if time and fate permit, updating the NaNo site’s word count whenever possible. Most likely the first thing in the mornings. In any event, this year is likely the last one where I’ll be actually using the NaNo site to track the word count; I’ll probably be working more-or-less independently from here on out.
Incidentally, I should be writing. Like, right now. Not quite when you read this, but more when I’m writing this blog post. Which reminds me, I’ve already veered away from my outline; my characters decided they didn’t want to do what I’d set out for them, and had a nice quiet evening weeding the garden and watching a movie. I would have just time-jumped over it, but something told me they wanted to do that. It worked, I suppose.
Right. Write.

If I don’t go stark raving mad I may get around to NaNo eventually.
