Deadline

The fist of time beats soundly,
Upon the writer’s door;
If ever he ignores that knock,
He’ll be a scribe no more.

NaNoWriMo

Novem­ber is National Novel Writ­ing Month as pre­sented by The Office of Let­ters and Light, a non­profit group that spon­sors and facil­i­tates sev­eral pro­grams that encour­age cre­ative writ­ing. The idea is to write 50,000 words, approx­i­mately 175 pages, in the thirty days that Novem­ber hath. That’s a mere 1,667 words a day! Totally doable! Read more

Under Pressure

A project for work, a paper for school, NaNoW­riMo, money owed to the mob–whatever the rea­son, we’ve all been under pres­sure at one time or another.

Or been the one putting pres­sure on some­one else.

As the semes­ter closes, the econ­omy tight­ens, NaNoW­riMo word counts increase (too slowly!) and the hol­i­days approach keep the idea of being under pres­sure on your mind and relieve some of that stress of being under pres­sure by doing cre­ative work.

Get to it. Under pres­sure is your nudge.

But, no pressure.
