I wouldn’t call what I have put up in the novel area high quality work, but there are parts of it that I like. Plus, I think there may be some high quality ideas in there that might get someone else motivated.

I do think that this whole copyleft / Free culture thing is likely to have a long ramp up time.

Sorry to hear I can’t motivate you to do nano, but I do hope you are enjoying your little one. My guy is five already and still such a joy.

all the best,

In reference to the discussions at Unbounded Freedom, it will be great if/when we start seeing high quality work released under the license. I can imagine a compromise of selling to a publisher under old copyright and then releasing as BY-SA six months to a year later. I would be ok with that.

I’m familiar with NaNoWriMo and have idly considered it in the past. I think it’s a good thing if it can get you to put a lot of words down on paper. I’m almost positive I won’t do it this year with everything going on — a new baby, this blog, and wanting to work on using more free software. (That’s a new baby and the blog, not that the blog is the new baby :-)

you have been popping up in my online roaming recently so I decided to drop a line.

I am happy to see you using the BY-SA license. I will have to make some time to read this.

My 2005 NaNoWriMo novel “Tings” is also under a BY-SA license:

I am planning on writing another this year: “Sayings” Would you care to take the nano challenge and do the same?

p.s. - looking forward to bumping into you more in the future.
