NaNoFeed: the 30-day challenge vs the 30-year challenge
Today’s post was originally written as a comment to this awesome post from Kris Rusch, about the instant-success mentality and the NaNo Class of 2010. I guess I’m Class of 2010 also, given that was the first year I managed … Continue reading
NaNoFeed: sustainability vs workaholism
It’s now the fourteenth of November, one day short of midpoint. I have written almost 44,000 words — and that’s with two days off. Tuesday and Wednesday I came home from work, laid on the couch (aka recumbent workstation) and … Continue reading
NaNoFeed: cusswords as world building, and engineering consult in the afterglow
This year’s NaNo is a wild ride, and I’m having loads of fun with my usual world-building by tripping over things. A cross-cultural exchange between the Ship’s Captain, Jehen, and her old flame, Martisset, following their romantic reunion. (Warning: Implied … Continue reading

NaNoFeed: In media res, baby: a family reunion (Inside the Jump excerpt)

NaNoFeed: 25K at the end of day five
