Today I typed my last of the 50,000 words for this month (50,172 total). That 50,000th word? "Worked". How appropriate. Uh, and in other news, I got layed off by Integral Institute. Looking for a designer? Let me know.

Habit? Of getting laid off?

Congratulations - HUGELY - on finishing those 50,000 words. You're a better man than I; NaNoWriMo has always terrified me. Maybe in 2007. Until then? You're a hero in my eyes. Wow.

And about I-I. I think (and this is not a reflection on the Institute at all) this could be one of the best things to have happened to you all year. It's time to move on to new challenges, hm? There's a world out here waiting. I have a strong feeling you'll look back at this week in a few months - or years - and be amazed at what started as a result.

laid off? i thought you guit? :) anyway, getiing laid off is the best thing that happened to me in my previous job. it will suck at first, but life goes on.

btw, according to Steve Pavlina, you should never get a job. easy for him to say. but he's got some good points, integral or otherwise :)

Technically, yes, I was offered the chance to be laid off, and I accepted.

Sike.

Enjoy the come-down and I'll see you next November.  I wish I didn't have to type another word between now and then.

Condolences - and Congratulations! Can you self-publish the novel, perhaps as an ebook? A chapbook? With your illustrations - and perhaps some friends’ ?

Chef-mystic,

I need some video of the num-chuck skills.    Time for a Zaadz video embed!
