i may be a bird in a cage but at least it's your cage

the spreadsheet TOTALLY worked -- my daily goal was 500 words, but i ended up averaging ... 820 or so a day, so it worked more than i even THOUGHT it would. i'd be happy to send you the one i've set up for '07, or feel free to check out the online version (http://minervacat.stormwerks.net/otherfic/janohsix.html) (which is updated through yesterday, though lacking totals for december and the year to date).

there was just something about a) having goals (500 words a day, more than 10 fandoms) and b) watching the little boxes fill up and the formulas total my monthly and yearly totals that really worked for me -- i can't guarantee that it would work for everyone, but i loved it.

i am still totally interested, too! and i was feeling like the flake. :) i'm going to try and get a sports night challenge off the ground right after the new year, but later in the spring, maybe? i cannot guarantee anything given the masters' thesis, graduation, blah blah blah, etc of my schedule, but i will TRY. *hearts*
