Dave: Didn’t get anything done during the day, but took my laptop to Katherine’s karate class and banged out a solid 1700 or so. Now at 13K-plus. Tomorrow — Action! Adventure! Gunshots! Chases! PLOT!
Katherine: Talked about it several times, but between karate and homework (and a bit of unrelated dawdling), no opportunity. We might do something in the morning.
Katherine’s been envious of the little graph I can pull up on my NaNoWriMo page (under the NaNo Stats tab), so Margie created one for her in Google Sheets, and I’ve put a link to the graph in the sidebar under her name. Yay for Google Docs (and Margie).
The official NaNoWriMo word count widgets are still not turned on, due to the site being so slammed. Eric at Saalon Muyo has created a simple PHP hack that uses the NaNoWriMo API to give the word count; I’m including that in my sidebar for my results, until (if ever) the widgets work.
Interestingly, the API and widgets are only on the “adult” side; Katherine’s YWP account doesn’t get access to them. I’m not sure if that’s to keep the kids from being too obsessed over this or what, but it’s a bit irksome.
