November Novel: 683 words
Today's word count: 589 words

I think, on a personal level, it would have to be close to 1:1.

Like, I don't give to beggars if it feels like a 50-50 shot, whether they're legit

Maybe I shouldn't judge them at all. But that's where I'm at

Food for thought: how extreme would the ratio (of people in genuine need to fraudsters) have to be, to change your position on SNAP?

(Note that most Republicans don't actually support ending SNAP, and there are 15 Republican Senators supporting Hawley's proposal to fund it during this shutdown.)

Democrats will feed 100 people in fear that one of them might starve

Republicans will starve 100 people in fear that one of them might not deserve food

@sea-author.bsky.social If you'll forgive me for posting so much on this—

Could you add these three to your feed?

These three are the most popular, so far as I can tell

#NovNov is a good shortening of #NovelNovember.

I really like #Novelember personally but half the time people put Novelmber or Novelvember instead and then we're on three different hashtags

Um, Day 3 #AltNaNo update: 8 words before I fell asleep at the computer.

I mean technically within my commitment to write every day and see if I naturally write more over time

But maybe writing at 10pm is a bit much for my old brain 🤣

#NovelNovember and other #AltNaNo challenges live on!! 💛

Michael Davison @michael481.bsky.social · 7d

Yes, lots, with a variety of tags like #NovelNovember

HQ is down but many many people are still doing it. #Writevember #NovelNovember #NovNov

NaNoWriMo Day 2 word count: +156
Total: 224 words

My goal is to keep writing something each day and hope that my word count naturally improves with tracked practice! So far, so good!

I mean, it kinda is now

Michael Davison @michael481.bsky.social · 8d

LOCK IN!!! 😂

What's your goal for today?

1 1

Michael Davison @michael481.bsky.social · 8d

Better than me so far!

Just 68 words

But my goal is to build on that and write a little more each session

Michael Davison @michael481.bsky.social · 8d

#AltNaNo writing session #1: 68 words

(My goal for this NaNoWriMo is to steadily increase my words per day, or per writing session, as I increase my mental stamina. Like independent reading stamina in upper elementary school.)

They're all secretly the same thing

As long as you have a writing goal and write words, you're winning!

The only true loss is to write 0 words 💔

One lonely soul cried out for a hashtag, and BlueSky answered

...a little too well, actually

Michael Davison @michael481.bsky.social · 8d

The correct answer is (z) all of the above
