I was thinking about the up-coming National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and the motivations I offered Alison last year. I was called cruel and other things I cant repeat in polite company when I held out an entire season of Buffy as inducement. Yes, cruel, as I had the boxed set in hand and threatend to take it back to the store if she didnt make 40000 words.
With that in mind I think I’ll lay down a similar inducement on the heels of Apple’s announcement of a brand new IPod - the aptly named Ipod Nano. Its sleek. It’s geek heaven. It’s nearly 3 days of songs all in one place. And most of all, it’s the perfect “this is what you get if you complete Nano” prize. Yes! Complete Nano and you get a Nano! (offer subject to approval, non-wives need not apply, applicants must present wedding ring matching the judge’s to be eligable).

| 40,000 words | 50,000 words (completion) |
| Stargate SG-1, season 8 (release date October 2005) | IPod Nano (4Gb storage, free engraving “NaNoWriMo Winner 2005″) |
I believe that’s the gauntlet sufficiently thrown down.
