Nanowrimo + Kindle Contest

| writing | blogging |

An exciting start to the first day of voting! 13 total votes which is a great turnout in my opinion. It is still close and is anyone’s game.

My nanowrimo book is going well also. I am 800 words into it and only have 49,200 more words to go! The journey ahead will be long, but I am excited to get wrapped up in this wonderful work of writing. The more I write the more I get trapped in this world that I am creating. The book is taking a slow turn to the dark side, which is scary, and exciting. I cannot wait to see the final product.

Keep on voting, 29 days left to go. Help decide the lucky winner of a Kindle 3 Wifi. :)

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

Generated and suppressed demand.

Eight years ago, I wrote about my theory of restoring struggling teams, which came down to four steps: A team is falling behind if each week their backlog is longer than the week before. Solve by hiring more. A team is treading water if they’re able to get...
