Is Project Gutenberg off the air? It's Back!!
I haven't been able to get to the Project Gutenberg site for the past few hours - although Distributed Proofreaders seems to be ok.

Has anyone else been able to access it recently?

Update - it's back up now.

Yes, it's now back.

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.
