Picowrimo's summer outing

[altariel]

It's not too late to join in the summer round of picowrimo!

What is picowrimo? From the community profile:

PicoWriMo started out as a place for people who wanted to participate in some of the madness and achievement of NaNoWriMo, but wanted a more realistic target - say 500 or 5000 words...

We have daily prompts for people to post about the progress they're making and to give encouragement to others to hit their writing targets...

There are no goals other than those you set for yourself, and no compulsion beyond what you put upon yourself. There are no limits on genre, style, age, or experience, and both fiction and non-fiction are welcome.

Usually picowrimo runs during November alongside NaNoWriMo, but espresso_addict has generously organised a July outing. If you've had a piece lying around that you've always wanted to finish, picowrimo might just be the spur and support that you need!

I'm in! And will do my best to keep up this time :)

Oh, I do want to join in... when I'm over this wretched cold.

Thanks, Altariel! I've got myself a special icon and I'm enjoying it already. By the way, if you've got a moment, lilian_cho was asking the moderator about the pimping policy in the Day 2 post and it didn't seem to be covered in the profile.

Come on over and moan about the cold :)

Anyone running a femtowrimo yet? :) (IIRC, femto is the next unit of measurement down from pico.)

I plan to join in, with the cafe thing from last year; I might even finish it... :-)

Good! :-)

A haiku a month!

lilian_cho PMed me: I said it was fine by me if it was fine by you.

(I only happen to be mod of picowrimo because I started the community - I think of whoever happens to be running the current round as the moderator. To be honest, it's not needed any modding at all. If a current member has something to do with writing that they want to bring to the attention of other current members - that seems perfectly reasonable to me.)

And of course it is a winter outing for you!

Poor you, sounds like this cold has been a shocker.

Colds always hit me worse because they interfere with my ability to breathe through my nose... which interferes with my ability to use my CPAP machine... which interferes with my ability to sleep... which interferes with my ability to get better. 8-(
Night before last, I didn't sleep at all, all night. Then I slept during the day. God only knows how my body-clock will be when it's over. 8-(

It is, I'm here with my bedjacket, fluffy socks, heater and coffee...

(Why do I have no heroes that would be seen dead in fluffy socks??? I'm sure I could write several paragraphs on the subject...)
