h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

All across h2g2, researchers are posting to their journals as part of National Journal Posting Month, sponsored by Create (U14992038).



What nation, you might ask? Why, the h2g2 nation, of course. The merry band of knowledge explorers, researchers who build their own frontier, one entry at a time. And it isn't too late to join NaJoPoMo, as long as it is still November the 1st when you start.

For the demented few who are simultaneously participating in National Novel Writing Month, meet me over at the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Researchers' Lounge:

Now today I have a busy day that won't end until I check in the hotel far, far away.

Oo I re-activated my novel doobry account last night... guess I oughta get a journal entry done today, and get the 1600 or whatever words of the novel done... only I'm not sure what to do the novel on at all

Make chapter one about William. Because inquiring minds want to know.

Speaking of main squeezes, you know Mister Nerd is on h2g2 now, right?

Yes I saw he was here... Is he posting much, or stil lfinding his feet?; I trust you've given him a site tour

Chapter one is written.
Chapter two is written.
4037 words. on day one.
I didn't have the slightest clue what I was going to write, until I wrote. then I wrote what I wrote.

Sadly I doubt William will feature in it; This years contribution I plan on being entirely non X-rated...
For a couple of reasons.

When I have finished, come the end of this month, I will* have at least 50,000 words, which can be divided up into quite a lot of shortish chapters.
All of which, will, if they will take it, be suitable to appear in the post on h2g2

its the sequel to 'Teh night of teh hoover', which appeared in the post way back when... the origional was written by various people, in the cancel thread, I am taking the origional storey, and moving it on, into even more surreal and fantastical and strange palces.... and, just like the origional, as I have absolutely no plan, or plot outline, it will have the entirely random surreal feel (I hope), of the origional; as it was written in the thread, by researchers randomly picking it up and writing a bit more on the spurr of the moment
I am of course stealing the characters from the origional but feel I may have to add some more in too

Has the post ever had a 50000 word submittion before? mind... they might not want it j my journal entrys, for this month, are all going to be Harry the Minnow's further adventures in rather old fashioned 'gentleman chrime' blimey.... exactly how* much coffee did I drink today?;

Right. 4037 words doesn't seem nearly enough. lettuce see if I can complete the 50000 word novel by the middle of the month

That's odd. My tablet thinks that 50000 is a phone number.

really? How odd, I've a dwarve who thinks he's an accrobat... which is in a strange way, if you take into account the price of potatos in paris in May, almost entirely not totally disimular to soemthing to do with phone numbers and tablets... I think... 4400.... I'd have writen more but I had to argue with my netbook which is trying to convince me its dieing...
