In 2007, my first year attempting NanoWrimo, work requirements got in the way, despite my best efforts. However, I DID manage to write 10,564 words in about 7 days, which was very much on track. |
In 2008, I finished. I had a completely different job
that allowed me to actually have a life (that I can forgo for the
novel).

2009's attempt is called "The Trials of Elijah Marcus Ash " , a follow up to 2008's submission. (50, 176 words in 28 days) My author profile is at http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/232858 Read an excerpt of the book. Note that it changes at least daily, more if I have more writing sessions. |

This project addresses a single issue each year . This years' topic was Poverty. Having had some experience in the matter, I submitted a piece in about 30 minutes on the last day of the event. It can be found at http://www.greymatterideas.com/php_uploads/wordpress/?p=38 Note: the blog is experiencing some technical issues, so it's not available at this time. |
Script Frenzy I will be participating in 2010...Not sure which idea I will pursue at this time. Track my progress at http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/eng/user/232858 |
I am currently working on a book called "Web Master Essentials". It encompasses a year of re-education on the art and science of web design and the material was tested in the classroom with a program of 30 days of training to take people from novice to webmaster. I graduated 5 people, two of whom are CIW Certified Master Web Site Managers, which was the goal of the program. E-mail me at brian@greymatterideas.com for more details, or to get on the notification list when it's complete.
Note: The focus of the book may be changing... still deciding...
