Making progress
The beginnings of a #NaNoGenMo entry...
Just barely managed to finish a #NaNoGenMo entry this year. It's less elaborate than I had hoped to make it, but it's 50k+ words and even has a vaguely coherent plot, so I'm calling it a success. :)
Excited for #NaNoGenMo this year, I have a plan and everything: https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2023/issues/13
What I am basically trying to do is write a mystery novel where I do not know the solution until I read it, using code that approximately simulates the mechanics of the game Clue/Cluedo to determine what happens, and using Tracery grammars to slot my own writing onto that plot structure. That is my goal anyway, we'll see how it goes in practice! :)
With #NaPoGenMo due to start shortly, I wanted to have a way to take a #tracery grammar and stick it on a static webpage to show it off with minimal hassle. So, I made a very basic little tracery webpage template!

An example showing the template in use, displaying my #NaNoGenMo entry from last year: https://emmajuettner.com/an-expanded-meditation/
I don't know much about JS so the code is kind of cobbled together haphazardly, but it works well enough for my purposes. Feel free to suggest improvements and/or use for your own projects!
