Happy Thanksgiving!

To those who the senser picked up out of the US, this is just a regular Thursday. But to us Americans is a great holiday! Thanksgiving! The Macy*s day Parade, the turkey, the smell of cooking food all throughout the day. The family time, the bright glorious day, that is the day that we call Thanksgiving. Every last Thursday of November is Thanksgiving. So I said, "Hey, what about a weekend Let's Write! Not on Thursday or Friday(you can do it on Friday, but I forbid you to do one on Thursday because gosh darn its a holiday!)but over the weekend could we possibly have a potluck of Thanksgivings? Tell me what your Thanksgiving was like! The next let's Write after this(in a few weeks) will be about the rocket(which I will explain later ) and then Christmas, and then New Years and then Valentines and so on. But always something inbetween if we can. I will participate in this one. If anyone does not want to participate and would rather judge, send me an email. Otherwise, it'll just be a potluck. So have a happy Thanksgiving and I hope to hear from you on Sunday!


Yes, this was posted on Organic Words, but hey! Its a holiday!

Really funny from Nanowrimo...

I was doing my NaNoWriMo and was looking at the home page and saw this funny question and answer collum.


Q: Running Man With Pencil, you were the logo for National Novel Writing Month for five years until being replaced by a horned shield. Are you bitter? And what are you going to do now?
A: Bitter? Whatever, man. I’ve always been a runner, always pushing myself, and life after NaNo for me is just another set of big, fun, and scary challenges.

I’ll admit that my first few forays into the workplace weren’t that successful. I tried leveraging my celebrity status for some endorsement deals, but everyone wanted me to show up with the pencil. Now, I know that the pencil looks nice and shiny in the logo, but
after five years of writing, sharpening, erasing, and the occasional ring of chew marks – well, it’s not beautiful in anyone’s eyes but my own nowadays.

So instead, I’m going freelance, just contracting my services as an inspirational and motivational metaphor. I’m doing what I love, and it’s almost going too well. For instance, in June I accidentally inspired people to stage a celebrity riot for a barista in Tucson.

Oh, and then there was the time I accidentally over-motivated a step aerobics class, and caused a stampede.

And then there was Valentine’s Day. Right. It’s probably best if I don’t mention that.

And I really, really didn’t intend this one, but last week, I somehow ended up motivating a horde of space aliens to invade Earth. Don’t worry – I’m currently putting together a squad of ninjas, combat librarians, beekeepers, graphic designers, and pro golfers to defend the planet. I can’t say more, but you might be surprised to see who’s
missing from the PGA tour next year…

And now if you'll excuse me, we’re entering diplomatic talks with the Hive Queen of the Oxa’olorth next month, and I really should finish writing the Oxa’olortic-English Dictionary by then. Fortunately, the Oxa'olorans only have 50,000 words in their vocabulary. I think I can handle it.

Best of luck to everyone in 2009!

Isn't that funny!

So my current word count is 1,474 words. Yippee!

This Microsoft Monday is on journals!

see you later!

The Timer is Living

The timer for the activities posted in the previous post is living at the bottom of the page.

Thanks!

Explainatory

So.

Tuesday Typewriters is to see how many words you can make from one given word(on a Tuesday) in 5 minuets. To participate, at any given time go to http://www.online-stopwatch.com/ or I will try to put it on both Organic Words and here, and set the timer for 5 minuets then press start and start writing! When the time goes out, stop your work. Microsoft and most writing software have a tool which counts how many words are there. Comment saying how many words you made and see how many words other people can think of in the same amount of time.

Write-a-Thons are by request only. Write-a-Thons are much like NaNoWriMo and Tuesday Typewriters except for the fact that they are for 2 months. Any topic. Again, the goal is to see how long you can make it.

Microsoft Mondays are like a Let's Write except that they have to be about a book you've read and there is a 7 day time limit(One Monday to the Next) You may start these at any time during that week. This Monday(today) is not a Microsoft Monday, but Tuesday Typewriters start tomorrow.

I think that wraps it up! Well off to post the same stuff on Organic Words! Happy Writing and Happy Reading!

SOOOOOO The point of Knights of the Writer's Table is....

OKAY ! I NEED A HAND COUNT OF ALL BOOK CLUB READERS!

I need a hand count of all book club readers so I can see if I can set something up with posting and what not. Just say aye and I will get back with my surprise asap....

Hello?

I have a question. How many people have read A Wrinkle In Time? Raise of hands? If you have, say so, don't say anything about it unless you say, "Its a really great book!" or something like that. If you haven't, say so...and we will found another book.

Yello

Sorry about that guys.... Anyway, first, I think we need to think of things to discuss. Books for one,(NO DUH!!!) possibly authors? If ever anybody has a suggestion please comment....

This is the first post on the blog, Book club!

Okay book clubbers! This is the first post. So lets start off with finding a book everybody wants to read. List the books you want to read, or are reading. We will get into more details later! If you got here by Organic Words, welcome! Everybody, there are details on Organic Words. Click here.
Here, everybody has a fake funny name, so choose wisely! When you comment say, hello this is so and so. Get it? Thanks.
