Quick update
OK, it's Saturday here in NZ, and I'm about to head out to finish off an experiment and then do a few other things. I've now got my van back and it cost me a packet. It's now got a new alternator, battery, fan belts, and had a full tune-up......it wasn't cheap, and did some serious damage to my bank balance.
On the website front. There has been new additions to both stories, and they are moving along nicely. Check out the Million Word Story, and check out the Million Character Story
I guess it's now becoming evident about my initial "experiment" status of running the 2 stories alongside each other. While the Character Story has actually progressed further in terms of the final target of 1 Million characters/words in comparison to the Million Word Story, it is much shorter in length.....I think it will eventually get a lot of people interested in reading it (maybe more than the Word Story) and contributing to it. The entries seem much punchier and not waffling on too much. We'll see, but during these early stages it is following the trends that I thought it would. ¶ 9:48 AM
