NaNoWriMo procrastination!

All right, I've found a few things to keep me busy so I don't have to just, you know, write all the time.

I've put my NaNoWriMo word count badge on the sidebar, so you can keep track of my (lack of) progress. Another example is to the left in this post, though that one's not really working right. (Don't ask me to figure it out. I've procrastinated enough as it is.) Get yours on the Word Count Widgets page at NaNoWriMo.org.

I've also discovered a sweet Excel spreadsheet that calculates your word count for each day. Download the word count calculator at Hillary DePiano's site.

I'm also racking my brains, trying to decide how much to donate this year to keep NaNo running. Click over to the donations page and check out the sweet swag you get according to the level of your donation. Corin, operating as my Magic 8 Ball, randomly clicked on $250. That boy's generous! With that choice, I would get a link to my site on the Brought To You page, a rock-and-roll NaNoWriMo poster, and...a window cling "for your car (or most favorite home window)." But I'm worried that that will make all the other windows jealous and lead to tension in the home.

Well, there you are. Three ways you can avoid writing and yet still feel you're doing something NaNoWriMo-ish. That should keep you busy.

You're welcome.
