This year, for National Novel Writing Month – I have a plan! I’m going to do something really innovative — I’m going to spend the month of November…

… building a website for my friend Chi.

Yes! I know, it’s not a novel. However…

  1. I actually know how to build websites (unlike novels, which I seem to be unable to achieve).
    B. I promised her I’d do it months ago.
  2. It will be fun, and not stressful, like trying to write a novel was.
    D. Chi is an actual published writer, so, it’s LIKE I’m getting some writing done, because I’ll be helping her.

So, that’s my grand plan for National Novel Writing month – to once again NOT get a novel written, only this time with less stress and some actual pretty, creative stuff to show for it at the end of the month.

Think it will work? I hope so.

Add a search result to the bottom of the list that represents a community contribution. The price should be “free”. See “Microfinance – community content” below for content. You should not elongate the page, but rather shrink the “Source” column and those graphics to as small as possible, and enlarge the “Summary” column. That should give you enough room.

Yes. Yes it should. If I were designing a book, poster or flyer, rather than a website. Sigh.
