I’ve added a NaNoWriMo Progress Meter to the sidebar, so y’all can follow how close (or not so) I am to my goal of 50,000 words. Now I am not so tempted to log on to iChat, so I can just “happen” to run into friends and have to spend a minute or two (or more) chatting about my progress.

10 worst album covers of all time
Okay, everyone else in the world has probably seen this already, but Pork Tornado has the 10 Worst Album Covers of all Time up, and boy, are they bad. It’s work safe, but that’s the only safe thing about it. Under no circumstances be near a keyboard consuming a beverage while viewing these images. What were they thinking?
That’s one way to do it, I guess.
Drug-induced hypergraphia [excessive, mania-induced writing] is not rare. (For instance, Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written during a six-day cocaine high during which he generated sixty thousand words.)
And he had a nosebleed for weeks, I’ll bet.
60,000 words in 6 days? And the guy didn’t even use a typewriter. Yikes. My hands hurt just reading that.
Anyhow, I am off to try to do today’s 2000!
