Anger apparently helps a LOT with word count.
And I found this (pokes
freixenet), one of the coolest blogs I've encountered in a long time:
http://tenser.typepad.com/tenser_said_the_tensor/linguistics_in_sf/index.html
Of special interest to those who enjoy SF and/or linguistics and rhetoric.

Which makes me long for Peter O'Toole now.
Go figure
Writercon...is not as organized as I'd like it to be. Life has taken a lot of us by the short hairs, and we're scrambling to get everything in place for November. I'm hoping Atlanta comes out on top too, obviously, but some of the other cities have serious potential. It's really going to come down to expense overall.
The line through is 'strike' and '/strike', but replace the ' with < and >.
I have always found anger to be a real motivator of prose. Not that it's great prose, but there's always more of it.
Anger creates some serious energy. I'm not sure it's good stuff, but it's flowing out of my head and into my fingers nicely, and the point of nano is to get it out. Editing/revising is for getting it right :-)
