Public shame is a form of motivation, right?

If teachers used it with joyful abandon every school year, it must be effective. Surely? Or maybe they just enjoyed being sadistic... anyway! Today's announcement:

I am doing NaNoWriMo.

Not sure who still reads this, but I am announcing this to my virtual and real friends through a variety of mediums so that I won't be able to get out of it. By which I mean, if I 'forget' to do it, or give up after 2 days, feel free to hassle me.

And I totally meant to do a post telling you about my visit to the Quakers/Society of Friends, but forgot. That'll be here later this week, but it probably won't be as long as the Russian Orthodox post.
