Catwalk: Walking in Little Italy, San Francisco on Saturday November is National Novel Writing month. There used to be a group NanoWriMo that challenges people to write 50,000 words in November or 1,667 words per day. It closed 2025. Now the challenge is splintered across different groups. These recommendations written by Google: • Best Grassroots & Classic Vibe: NaNo 2.0 https://nano2.org/ • Built by volunteers alongside original NaNoWriMo founder Chris Baty, NaNo 2.0 strips away corporate sponsorships and software lock-in. • Why choose it: Recreates the classic, scrappy energy of the early years with fun extras like a random plot generator (Plotomatic), prompt drawers (The Dare Box), & browser-based timed word sprints. • Trade-off: Community chatter happens mostly off-site on Discord, Facebook, or local meetups not on a centralized webforum. • Best Overall Replacement: Novel November explanation: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/novelnovember registration: https://prowritingaid.com/novel-november • Hosted by ProWritingAid, this is the closest spiritual successor in terms of scale, drawing roughly 100,000 writers. • Why choose it: Daily writing sprints, forums, digital milestone badges, & access to 150+ live workshops with bestselling authors. You do not have to write inside their software—you can draft in Scrivener, Word, or Google Docs & manually update your tracker. • Trade-off: Run by a commercial editing software company, so has promotional tie-ins and discounts for ProWritingAid & partner apps like Scrivener. • Best for Custom Goals & DIY Groups: TrackBear • TrackBear has become the unofficial default word-count tracker for indie Discord servers, fanfiction writers, & local library groups. • Why choose it: Satisfying progress graphs & "words needed per day" math that writers loved in the old NaNoWriMo site. Join public or private leaderboards. Trade-off: Purely a tracking & leaderboard tool. No built-in classes or editorial workshops

About this image

This warm whimsical illustration features an anthropomorphic fluffy white cat character strolling a sun-dappled San Francisco sidewalk outside the iconic City Lights Bookstore. Patrons enjoy coffee and work at the outdoor sidewalk cafe under green striped awnings, while golden fall foliage, a vintage cable car, and hilly city architecture glow in soft golden hour light. The cozy painterly style uses warm autumnal tones to create a gentle, inviting, comfortable atmosphere.

you stay fit. the whole town is up one hill or down another. I just hated the really steep hills as my little car back then did not have a lot of power. Sometimes I was worried I would start rolling backwards!

For your next destinations, you could visit places straight out of One Thousand and One Nights, such as the world of Aladdin and his magic lamp.

It must be truly exhausting if you live on a slope and have to keep going up and down.

Charming image, great style here. I wonder how many words a month my blog and script writings add up too...😃

You stay in shape, yet you were riding in your little cart—did you not want to be in shape, or is it just too tiring, so you preferred to ride? And how many places have you lived in?
@CaylaCatz · Nov 14, 2026
oh, that'll be cool. I'll do one tonight

I'm sure it's a pretty good count.
