Matt Rogers’ kinetic typography of Stephen Fry’s “Language” podcast is brilliantly done.

National Novel Writing Month is just around the corner, and I’m super geeked. I’m not the only one:

Hello Wrimos.
Look at your novel, now back to mine, now back at your novel, now back to MINE.
Sadly, it isn’t mine, but if you started writing 1667 words a day it could be as long as mine.
Look down, back up, where are you? You’re at your computer WITH THE NOVEL YOUR NOVEL COULD LOOK LIKE.
What’s in your hand? Back at me. It’s the remains of your silenced inner editor.
Look again.
THE EDITOR IS NOW DIAMONDS!
Anything is possible with NaNoWriMo.
I’m on a forum.

If you’re also NaNo-ing this year, feel free to add me. If you’re still debating whether or not to NaNo, stop. Hammer time. Sign up, it’s a month of fun, mad writing with people all over the world. In the meantime, let’s start working “the editor is now diamonds” into everyday conversations.
