Holy crap. Is it that time of year again? On Sunday, November 1st, 2015, keyboards across the world will be set ablaze. Or maybe not. It may end up looking a lot like the above – an old notebook and a pencil on some nondescript desk. Of course, that desk could be in a little … More nanoNaNoNANO
…my novel is not finished. But! I did finish NaNoWriMo 2011! Here’s my badge. I’ll place it on the side bar for a while till something else comes along to usurp it. I honestly didn’t think I could do it. I have a two-day meeting tomorrow and Friday that I’ve had to prepare for all week. I … More 50,000 words later…

Day 22 is dragging. I’ve only gotten in 454 words today. Maybe a spurt of inspiration will get me through the night, but I doubt it. I may just end up reading about swords tonight or another chunk of A Dance with Dragons. Or (gasp) I might watch some TV on NetFlix. Either way, I’ve … More NaNoWriMo – Day 22
Check it out! Looks like I’m right on track to finish by the 30th. With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, though, that’s gonna be a real challenge to get ‘er done. But I’m pushing to crank out another 3,000 to 4,000 words today. That should help. I only have 18,809 words more to go, folks. … More NaNoWriMo Update
I know, my posts should be focused, and not scattered about talking about one thing then another. I actually have folks who have subscribed to my blog recently that I do not personally know (I’m sure they will unsubscribe as soon as they figure out I’m a hack). Regardless, dear new suckers readers, I will … More Evocative Writing and my precious word count and GRRM’s dirge
I managed to catch up with NaNoWriMo and celebrated by giving myself permission to mess with the book cover for my first book. While playing around with fonts and various ideas and images, my husband mentioned that my title, Devil’s Blood, would not entice him to pick up the book. Bummer. Titles are hard. How … More Book covers and titles
Wow – yesterday, the 9th, was my worst day, but somehow, in the end, it turned out okay. Not only did I miss a job interview I had scheduled, I couldn’t find time during the day to write a few words on my WiP (work in progress). Late in the day, after I realized what … More NaNoWriMo – After Day 9
Well….even though I didn’t do my 1700 words yesterday, I managed 1248 words on Day One of NaNoWriMo 2011. Whew! It’s begun. Oh, and my story got accepted. Yeah me. 🙂
Well, an era that only lasted a month! I enjoyed doing the post-a-day thing, folks, but NaNoWriMo is calling and you don’t expect me to be in two places at once, do you? I’ll try to meet some of Emmie’s word count posts, but really, I just can’t see myself doing that as well as … More End of an era
