[No Shave November] (does anyone have a good link?)
I plan on participating in both, or at least trying.
Anyone else? Anyone feel like tracking NaNoWriMo progress as a group? Anyone feel crazy enough to want to write a group novel? Seriously, we probably got up to 50,000 words in no time back in the Edition Wars. Any interest in people giving previews/fullviews of their progress? If people are writing in Goolge Docs that'd be easy, you can just have it spit up a view-only link, and I can include links here in the opening post (as well as updates on word count when provided)
Anyway. There seemed some interest when I asked a month or two back, just kinda curious if there's enough interest (both in group-support to accomplish the challenge and reading other people's pre-edited work). If there is I'll probably edit this first post.
Oh, and guys? I want a picture from all o' ya on the 1st showing your beard, and any updates you feel like giving to show off your manly dedication to ... um... not shaving. Which is... manly... or something. It'll at least help keep your face warm in the winter. Unless you're in the southern hemisphere, in which case it'll just make you sweat more in the summer. But nobody important lives below the equator, so we don't have to worry about that.

2) Have to shave. Private school.
My boss would have a fit (and not let me work) if I stopped shaving. At least until it was grown out enough to be called a proper beard.
As for the novel, I think I'll give it another shot. Probably won't be writing on googledocs but I can post the occasional snippet here for those who care about it. It'll be a sequel though, so I'm not sure how much sense it'll make.

Meh. I don't write. I have most of a friend's novel saved in my emails, though. She wrote a novel based on our D&D campaign that went Epic (I ended up hitting level 32). Maybe I'll ask if I can post her unedited work here... Then I'll let you guys guess which character in the novel is mine.
I don't write and I've pretty much stopped shaving back in August. Also, no photos from me, nothing beyond a crudely drawn smug self-portrait.
... and you lot should totally join in (with pictures and NaNoWriMo attempts) so I don't look so sad and pathetic.
And so I give you the beginning of Grace Under Fire: docs.google.com/document/d/17FzAeotTOghN...

Movember?
Thanks to work I must either stay clean-shaven below the lip or wear a beard-net, and there's no way in hell I'm wearing that damn thing. Sorry. I won't trim my moustache, if that helps.
A while back my younger brother and one of his friends at work had tradition of a biweekly "crazy beard day". They wouldn't shave for two weeks, then on the designated day they'd both shave/trim to create the weirdest beards they could think of, and see whose was better. I kind of wish they'd taken pictures.
And it's starting to get cold out.
But I'm not cute like EE, I'm too ugly to post my pic. Besides, most of you know what I look like anyway...
And everyone else that's working on this, if you're putting it up online somewhere you should give me a link to post. 'cause camadrie or somesuch ****.
