How much time do you need? It's been 11 months.

heh, those are pretty cool.  No real reason for me to finish my thing, unless you want me to.


Hmm. Does this mean we aren't going to have the TWG NANOWRIMO calendar like we did last year? An avatar isn't the same thing.

Umm . . . I'm going to try not to figure out what you mean by that. Or, rather, how you misconstrued my meaning.

I can do the same calander I did last year. I'm looking at that tracking stuff over the weekend and deciding how I want to do it.


Oh, and you forgot, DELIBERATELY misconstrued.

well, none of those meters are particularly simple to port to another page.
I think I shall just do the calander again. Unless sprig feels inspired this weekend to automate somethign like the calander again

ok, I'm gonna do the calander. Here's how it works: I keep your total word count, your percentage of the 50k goal, and your percentage of meeting the word count that day based on 1667 words per day. I may add another one based on 2000 words per day, with sundays off, since that's how i write
I will also keep online, if you want, a copy of your work  in progress, or the state that work was in on each day.

Here's what you have to do:
Each day send me (via email, I rarely, if ever, check my msg board PMs) your current word total. There are two ways to do the word total. The easiest way is just to use Word's "word count" feature (it's in the Tools menu). Other word processors have them too.
The second way is to just type in Courier New 12pt double spaced. Each page will have ~250 words on it. 250 x page count = word count. Do it however you want. I won't doulbe check you.
If you want me to post your WIP, send me a copy at the end of the day too.
i try to update the calendar daily, sometimes I miss a day or two, but then fill it in based on the dates i received email.

I'll clarify if you have any questions. I'll post a link to the calendar later today.

well, i blanked out the calendar, but apparently sprig's making one that's more automated, so I'll post a link once we have that together.
