Writing in Public - Year 1, Month 1, Day 2

Michael Salsbury
As we discussed yesterday, my goal for the next 12 months (and beyond) will be to mirror Dean Wesley Smith's Writing in Public Challenge.  Each day I'll let you know what writing I did, if any.

I wrote a post on Randy Ingermanson's Snowflake Pro software that went up on my How To Write Fiction web site tonight.  That post was 1,881 words and many screenshots long.

I also wrote a post for this blog about converting your blog from WordPress to Blogger, which is where I'm hosting this blog now.  It'll save me around $100 a year, free me from worrying about keeping the software/themes/plugins updated, greatly reduces comment spam, and speeds up page loading times.

I finished up the night with post on my Desktop Administration site about the Sony security breach.
