Project 88

Filed under: Musings, Typecast, typewriters — olivander August 5, 2009 @ 9:13 pm

That’s as far as I got before life interrupted and I had to step away. The Underwood DeLuxe Quiet Tab I was using is back at the office, so I’ll have to finish this via electron.

My ambitious–perhaps too ambitious–plan is to write something/anything every day for the next 88 days, using a different typewriter every day. It may be opinion, it may be pointless rambling, it may be short fiction, or it may be poetry. One of my first ideas was to adapt the concept of 88 characters literally by creating 88 different fictional characters, but I fear that would be to invite pre-NaNo burnout. Nonetheless, expect some talking to myself about November’s plot.

Consider this day #1.
