10/31/02 scary
This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):
Here’s a Canadian perspective on Why Halloween is the New Christmas.
Speaking of scary, why do Ben and Jerry (of expensive ice cream fame) have a Halloween page and why is it ranked #7 on Google for “Halloween”?
In keeping with the scary theme, I added a bunch of stuff to my novel page, including the addition [...]

I’ll make an effort to avoid the word “D’oh!”
This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):
Since I’ve all but finally decided on a title, I designed the book cover. I went through some of my photos and found a couple perfect candidates. After mocking up two covers, I settled on one. I’m amazed how quickly I designed it. Of course, that’s it at right (see a larger version).
I’m starting to [...]

heading for Somberland at this rate
This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):
I spent a lot of time tonight working on possible chapter headings and a plot outline. Both are very, very vague, and I’m probably taking too serious a tack. Maybe it’ll turn out amusing, but I’m heading for Somberland at this rate.
I had tentatively decided to call my main character David. I wanted a fairly [...]

10/30/02 the anticipation is killing me
This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):
This morning—early this morning; yesterday, for me, really—I added my site to the NaNoWriMo webring (see bottom…). I’ve never had the desire to be part of a webring before. However, I think in the attempt to do something difficult and new, it will help me to be able to easily find others who are doing [...]

10/29/02 a wretched weekend
This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):
What a wretched weekend it was. I’m just now getting over a week-old cold, one that took me out of commission Thursday when I attempted to call Californians about the environment. (I found it surprisingly difficult to work on the phone without my main tool of persuasion—my voice.)
Much worse, of course, was waking up to [...]

[Note: this blog entry originally appeared in my November 2002 NaNoWriMo blog. I've now moved all of those entries into the "Imagine a Novel Weblog" category of this blog.]
I guess I’ll use this space to document minutiae that I anticipate “normal readers” of my anti-blog won’t care to read every time I post. However, I [...]

10/18/02 part of a weird new program
This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):
Corruption in my home state: The big news of the day is the investigation into the widespread corruption at Wisconsin’s state capitol among the legislative leadership of both parties. The Dane County D.A. filed 20 (twenty) felony charges against the Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Chvala and more felony charges against Assembly Republican leadership.
I’m mildly embarrassed [...]
