Katherine cranked out 400+ words today, so she’s well on her way to crossing the finish line Sunday, too. (I’m targeting Sunday myself largely because I’m traveling on business Monday and really don’t need the grief of fitting in Major Writing Effort that day).

Getting … close …
2717 words, to over 47K. Woot!
Plus, a bar brawl, and more of Kansas-Oklahoma geography than I cared to know.
Just in time for NaNoWriMo to be wrapping up: Noveller!
From the news:
SAN FRANCISCO—Noveller, the online macroblogging service that lets users post their impromptu narrative ruminations on modern life, society, and the nature of existence itself, celebrated its millionth post late last week, officially making it the world’s most popular prose-sharing tool.
Social media experts said they’re not surprised so many people have subscribed to the exciting new site, as it’s the only online service in which users can post a major multivolume epic in the morning, and have it read, critiqued, and reNovelled by thousands of other people around the world before lunch.
“You know, before we came up with Noveller, we had all these friends creating these great 75,000- to 300,000-word works of fiction, but there was no quick, easy, fun way to share them,” cofounder Chuck Gregory said. “To be honest, we were stunned there wasn’t already anything like it out there. It seemed so obvious.”
At 10 a.m. Pacific time on Mar. 13, Gregory and his team of programmers launched Noveller. By 10:03 a.m., the first-ever Noveller post—a primitive but vigorous account of an insurance salesman who becomes obsessed with his father’s boyhood on a Philippines naval base—was put up by user johnnyK_67.
Within an hour, more than 300 user-generated “Novels” had been posted.
