I Need Your Help!

November 3rd, 2007

OK, so you know I am doing NaNoWriMo, right? I got this little “No Plot? No Problem!” kit with tips and tricks for getting 50,000 words written in a month. One of the things that they suggest is making yourself accountable to friends and family by telling people what you’re doing. Which I did. They also suggest that I supply said friends and family with “Onerosity” coupons – meaning that I have to perform a particularly onerous task for said friend if I do not complete the required number of words by a certain day.

So, got anything horrible/time consuming/boring or otherwise not pleasant (or just more pleasant for you than for me maybe) that you want me to do for you? If so, send it to me via email or add it in the comments here. Since I am opening this up to everyone at one time I will have to assign the tasks to specific deadlines myself rather than take specific challenges. (for instance, if everyone challenged me to write 3,000 words for them by Monday then I would have a problem.) So once requests are received I will make a list of deadlines for me and consequences if I don’t meet them. If you don’t want your request to be public I will just add something such as “Non-specified task for xxxx if Susan has not completed 17,500 words by November 9th.” Or something like that.

Anyhow – motivate me! I do reserve the right to refuse really creepy/gross stuff, but you guys know me, I am hard to creep and gross out.

Note to M: Normal people don’t even bend that way – fuck off

Todd swiped all my onerosity coupons and threatens that if I don’t make word count I will have to go with him to CBGB’s on a Friday night. And for some reason I will also have to smoke a cigarette.

Hell, I would smoke a hookah rather than go to CBGB’s on a Friday night, so I don’t know what that other part has to do with it.

The rest of you people are apparently in the happy position of wanting and needing NOTHING from me. And that’s how I like my friends, so thanks for that.

We’re all too scared of you to threaten you if you don’t get the requisite number of words per day.

How about…I DARE you to do 1500 words tomorrow.

LOL, as well you should be – I am fearsome! I accept your dare, and will do the 1500 words. Even though it was not the dreaded Triple Dog Dare.

So there!
