Chris Baty is the founder of National Novel Writing Month, which is also known as NaNoWriMo. I completed NaNoWriMo some years ago and I’m entering it again this year. If you’re on the NaNoWriMo forums, feel free to add me as a Writing Buddy! My userid is “Inkygirl.”

Human-powered search engine just laid off 10 percent of its staff, and says that they’re reorganizing their editorial department to rely more on freelance positions over in-house editors. Hmm….might be a good time to pitch Mahalo with ideas. (Thanks to Jeff for the tip!)

The Apostrophe Protection Society was started in 2001 by John Richard with the specific aim of “preserving the correct use of this currently much abused punctuation mark in all forms of text written in the English language.”
Brilliant idea. And there’s even a message board for questions and discussion.
