A bunch of folks on the f-list are starting to talk about NaNoWriMo - whether they plan on signing up, that they've signed up, what they've done in past Novembers.
I love the idea, I just don't want to write a novel. What I can't decide is if I want to sign up for NaNoWriMo and then use my word count to collect and type up recipes (which needs to be done) or NaNoQuiMo and making a full-sized quilt.
stops, blinks at screen Dang, I bet if there was a website and a little attention in LJ, newsgroups, and the occasional store, a NaNoQuiMo (it would have to be NaQuiSewMo, I think) would kick ass. Why do I have all these great ideas which require me to have web skills (which I don't really have) and lots of free time (which I *certainly* don't have)?
Dang, I REALLY like this idea. I just don't know how to implement it. Or what month. Wouldn't be November, of course. ETA: Turns out March 19 is National Quilting Day, so there's already a goal to aim for.

Date: 2005-10-05 04:49 pm (UTC)dump all the work on youhave your help - but take a look at the NaNo site and what it offers and how we'd change that to quilting. Fearsome amount of work there, and it wouldn't immediately impact your resume. Would that still be worth it?no subject
