Taking Charge

Slow days lead to the most interesting finds sometimes. I was looking at different ways of promoting my site more, ways of bringing in a bit more legitimate traffic and hopefully raise my page rank. I thought that Blog Rush was a pretty cool site.

From their FAQ
What Is BlogRush And Why Should I Use It?
BlogRush is a “Cooperative Syndication Network.” It’s a network of blogs that run a small “widget” on their pages. Each time this widget is loaded it will contain 5 clickable headlines which are the blog post titles to other users’ posts. Clicking on any of these links will open a new browser window and load the blog and full post. Users earn “syndication credits” based on each time their blog loads the widget as well as each time any of their referrals (users that signup after clicking the “add your blog posts” link on the widget) loads the widget. They also earn additional credit based on all the activity through 10 generations of referrals. 1 Syndication Credit = having one of their recent blog post titles served inside the widget on another member’s blog.

It’s creeping closer and closer and we all know it. It’s one of the dreaded time of years for everyone but retailers. It’s almost Black Friday! The one day a year where the stores go absolutely insane and discount big ticket items. The day when shoppers line up at 5am to get their hands on the latest and greatest toys for their children. The day when it sucks to work retail.

Now, most times you have to wait until the day before Thanksgiving to see what the big discounts for Black Friday are going to be, but with www.black-friday.net, you can get a sneak peak at the ads before they get published. You can even get a direct link to the specials online so you don’t have to stand in line at the store. What could be better?

You can plan early and find the best deals, figure out where you want to go first. You can make sure you get the items you want, especially if you see some great Best Buy deals and know that the nearest Best Buy is further away than you would want to drive that morning. BlackFriday.Net is making all your Black Friday shopping as painless as possible so you can get on with your life.

I wrote a chapter on one of the novels that I’ve not touched in over 3 months.
It’s nowhere near done, though.
None of them are, damnit.

Novel 1 - 29,640 words
Novel 2 - 16,071 words
Novel 3 - 50,459 words *
Novel 4 - 3,224 words

* Despite it’s length, the first half would need to be rewritten or removed.
* It has a major drastic plot shift that can’t be worked seamlessly.

I should finish at least one of them. Maybe instead of doing traditional NaNo, I’ll make a goal of finishing either Novel 1 or 2.
But I also have a bunch of ideas for this year’s NaNo. Which will make for Novel 5.
