Pencil Tax

From the first of March 2013 the British Government will be instituting a new Pencil Tax as part of the new Green Deal scheme. The Tax will be implemented alongside other energy saving measures in a bid to maintain a healthy Ecosystem.
A spokesman for the initiative states
” we hope to prevent the destruction of our planets’s resources and any suggestion that we wish to control writers is seriously overblown. I think you will find our present predicament is the fault of previous administrations.”

Camp Nanowrimo

The creators of National Novel Writing Month have spread their craziness to the Spring. Now you can get witty with a word count during April and again I think in July. The joy of camp as opposed to November Nano is the self imposed word limit. Anything from 100 words to 100,000.
Actually I think the limit is 999,999 but no one who wishes to remain sane tries that in a month! Check out the Nanowrimo website or google Camp Nanowrimo and jump in. The water’s lovely.
