I'm a little more than 5,300 words behind par for NaNoWriMo, so I went looking for a word sprint to help boost my count. What I found was this amazing little writing game that I kind of love. Basically, your wordcount takes you through Hogwarts. Here's how it goes, and I'm going to fill in my results as I go:

Dear Yuletide Writer:

Not to be confused with New Year's resolutions, though the new year is part of this week. I'm calling it an end of year wrap-up that can bleed into 2015 if it wants. Also, I'm going to try to make this a weekly post to keep track of things I need to do, organize sort of organize my week, and because I like crossing things off lists ( Read more... )
