43,498

Wrote and sent in my Press Kit column for Writing World yesterday. Didn't get much writing done on my NaNo novel, sadly. NaNOWriMo update: 43,498 words written, 6,502 words left! FOUR DAYS left.

Links/News:

One year ago, I considered switching my Blatherings over to Livejournal. I actually did start the conversion and even transferred my old archives (which took a LONG time), but in the end opted for Movable Type because I didn't like the fact that you can't modify certain templates in Livejournal, just the main page. LJ is apparently working on this. I also kept running into bugs and broken user pic links.

I'm completely happy with MovableType (and hey, just noticed that there's a new version available), so plan to keep Blatherings as is, but confess I've been intrigued by the linked journal community aspect of Livejournal and RSSfeed-like potential. So now I have my own Livejournal, which I'll be using as a cartoon journal. It also enables me to post in filker friends' Livejournals as a real person instead of as "Anonymous". :-) I also have set up a Blatherings Update Livejournal, to make it easier for those in Livejournal who also read my Blatherings.

Four years ago, I went to Casa Loma with Sara and Annie and Ruth.

Five years ago, I had a phone conversation with my niece Sara, who was 3 years old at the time.

Today's Blatherpics:

A collection of cartoon self-portraits I've made for when I'm posting comments in other people's Livejournals. I plan to add more over time.
