Well, I'm fairly impressed with myself. I'm not officially doing NaNo, but I am using it as motivation, and it's working pretty well. My goal was a thousand words a day, which won't get me to 50k in thirty days but is a realistic goal for me. In the last four days I've averaged 1200 words a day, which added to the less-than-impressive totals from earlier in the month still puts me at 13000 words written in 12 days.
I am supremely amused at myself, as well. I had a brainstorm this evening, which led to Bart uncovering a reason someone might be motivated to attack Leigh Anizin:
Internet wank.
An independent messageboard, run off a privately-owned server, completely unchecked but eminently legal nonetheless. Dedicated to "critical attention" focused on the Silence.
Dr. Anizin wasn't difficult to pick out from the crowd, though her commentary was more...acerbic than I was used to on a day-to-day basis. Bordering on hostile, in places, though the responses were similarly themed on the lines of highly-intelligent playground-name-calling.
Because let's face it: a couple of hundred years in the future and cut off from all extraplanetary communication, we're still going to find ways to call each other dickheads on the internet. :D
