staying drunk together

In my sister's words, "It's not play time. It's work time." Fuck yeah.

To help me meet my goal of writing every day, I created this blog/tool thing called "Staying Drunk Together." (It's a metaphoric drunkenness; see the epigraph.) It is very simple. If you like, you can use it too, and we'll both benefit.

Here's how it works: each day, you write or draw, or whatever your thing is. When you are done, you post the word "Yes" on the blog, to let the rest of us know that you did it.

You can make these posts in about 10 seconds via the web, email or your cell phone.

Optionally, you can post the word "yes," plus a more elaborate description of what you did / scans of your art / links to a pastebin / whatever you want (like these guys do: http://tr.im/ieVG). That can be a great motivator, and you will always have a smart, receptive audience, wherever you are working. But that is much less important than simply posting that you did some work.

Optionally optionally, you can force yourself to post the word "No" if you skip a day. (No need to elaborate; just move on to the next day!)

If you are interested, just shoot me a quick email. Also, invite anyone you like who might be want to get in on it – just let me know.

Let's do it.
