"What? You mean I've got only twenty-seven days to write this thing?" I
stared at my father in shock. Fifty thousand words in twenty-seven days did not seem like a pleasing prospect.
"Twenty-five, actually," he answered. "We're leaving in the morning and
I want you to finish this early."
"Oh god," I moaned to myself. "I'm going to die."

This site is the spawn of Xepher's misguided
attempt to prove to herself that she could stay committed to one project, mainly NaNoWriMo 2004, for more than a few minutes
at a time. From the above dialogue, you may be able to surmise that she had foolishly taken this up, blissfully unaware that
she had only twenty-five, instead of the requisite thirty, days to write her fifty thousand word novel. This is only partly
true. She did foolishly take this up, but she was not blissfully unaware. The possibility of a NaNoWriMo
writer being blissful is very, very low. Instead, she was caught unaware, shall we say, by this little surprise.
For some strange reason, and against all
expectations, she decided to bravely forge on, creating words out of nowhere and typing them frantically into Microsoft Word
and praying to any particular listening deity that it would please, please not crash on her. After about a week, she decided
to create a site so the world could see how useless and futile her progress across the diary black on white words in her mind
was.
---
Actually, it's not that futile. I'm still
hitting my regular aim of two thousand words per day which will actually carry me through fifty thousand words in twenty five
days. This crackpot plan is working, bless me. Thank the gods!
