Nanowrimo Validator Problem

If it’s Nov 30 in wherever you are, you might notice that you can’t validate your wordcount because the site thinks that Nov is over.

Don’t panic!

It’s a site bug that was just discovered by the folks in Australia and NZ. HQ is working on fixing it.

Currently, the only workaround is to change your timezone to [...]

[Nanowrimo] Preview: Phail Whales – Part 2

Here’s the continuation of the preview from yesterday. The first part can be found here.

Again: don’t own Twitter or any of its trademarks, won’t be making money off the novel, and Fail Whales are adorable.

[Nanowrimo] Preview: Phail Whales – Part 1

Nanowrimo Kick-off and HaTEotW launch

I don’t have many pictures for this, largely because I was too busy to take any! Quite a lot of the photos were by Nerwen.

On Saturday was the kick-off party for the Singapore chapter of Nanowrimo, of which I’m proud to be co-Municipal Liaison for. It was also the launch of Happiness at the End [...]

Meeting Neil Gaiman (and trying not to faint)

I went to see Neil Gaiman today! After waiting over four hours for tickets, you can bet I was excited as heck to see the man himself! With me was Seriously Sarah, Nerwen, Joelyn Alexandra (formerly Raven Azure, who is moving sites) and Justin from Nanowrimo.
