Played with the layout a little bit. Also took out that silly vanity hit counter thing that served no purpose other than to stroke my ego. Did I really need that? No, no I did not.

Also, speaking of ego and vanity, I added a widget to link this blog to my twitter feed! Go look at it. It's neat! And then go join twitter, and follow me, so we can have epic 140 character discussions about chaos theory!

If you've been following me on Twitter, you'll know that I've been doing constant updates on the status of my NaNoWriMo project. But if you haven't seen that and you were wondering how it's going, here's a little update. So far, it's been great! I've written every day since the first of November, and I'm up to about 8971 words. My goal is about 2000 words a day, which has been a little tough to do, but I'm still plugging away. Most of all, I'm just happy that I've been able to be consistent with this. Committing to a project and not getting distracted is something that's really difficult for me. I think that forcing myself to not stall and just dedicate myself to one task will really help.

I will keep you updated, maybe even post some details about the story here soon! If you're interested in more up-to-date progress, keep an eye on my twitter account; I log each session's progress when I finish.

Here's to 50,000 words in 30 days!

So, I just did my first writing session with this NaNoWriMo idea. So far, so good!

A few details: the working title for my story is "Reapers and Riders." It's based on a poem I wrote a few years ago. For the moment, I'm going to keep most of the details to myself, especially since it's still just starting to form in my head. But, assuming all goes well, I might start posting some things about the characters and the setting as I develop them. The way I look at it, if I do that, not only will it give me something to share with you, but it will also help me kick around new ideas and hopefully make things better.

Also, one other thing I'm going to be doing is ending each post about this story with a word count, so you can keep track of my progress (probably also going to do this on Twitter, now that I think about it.)

Current Word Count: 1730
