NaNoWriMo Day After Recap: Joy in Achievement

Let’s see, what was I doing the day after NaNo? Hmm…right! Okay, I was at my brother’s house and we were prepping for his 3-year-old’s birthday party! And how could I think about updating posts when there was an adorable blond, curly-haired, blue-eyed little girl running around reminding me of the little girl version ofContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day After Recap: Joy in Achievement”

NaNoWriMo Day 30 Recap: A Tiny Bit More

You thought I was done, didn’t you? Well, I had a secret plan… Which I executed perfectly. As you all know, my sister finished the 50,000 words before me. I conceded defeat. However, I decided to take the final day of nano to eek out in front. That’s right, she thought she was safe stoppingContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 30 Recap: A Tiny Bit More”

NaNoWriMo Day 29 Recap: SUCCESS

I know I didn’t update before this posted, but here it is! The problem is, I MADE IT! Yup, I made my 50k words, closed the computer, and forgot about writing else. They aren’t great words, as one might expect, but I have a new story going and that alone is enough.

NaNoWriMo Day 28 Recap: 8 Kids

Guys. I am proud of myself. Yesterday, I got in 3,000 words! Yup. My best day in awhile, and, barring disaster (or distraction), I should be able to get in the rest today and/or tomorrow!

NaNoWriMo Day 27 Recap: A History of Idaho

Another day of driving all day yesterday resulted in about 700 words written. But, you know, it is hard to actually write in the car – there are so many distractions!! So I’ll still take all the praise for a job well done. So there. In other news…it is amazing, isn’t it, how writing oneContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 27 Recap: A History of Idaho”

NaNoWriMo Day 26 Recap: Packing and Wrapping

In preparation for the second part of our three week trip, today was mostly spent packing our things and wrapping gifts so we can do gift exchanges while we are visiting family. Then family came over in the evening to hang out and do an early exchange. but somehow, miraculously, I still got in overContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 26 Recap: Packing and Wrapping”

NaNoWriMo Day 25 Recap: Trees – Christmas and Dangerous

Today was weird…I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t get words written…I woke up late from a dream in which most of my teeth had been knocked out and broken pieces that remained kept falling and filling my mouth. So that was fun. At some point I made the filling for the stuffed acorn squashContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 25 Recap: Trees – Christmas and Dangerous”

NaNoWriMo Day 24 Recap: Cornhole and Pie

I apparently am one day off on my NaNoToons…Oh, well. You still get to enjoy them! Anyway, I actually just didn’t remember to update today before it published, for those of you who saw the initial post go up before I edited it. Because I actually got in 2,000 words yesterday, which I was quiteContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 24 Recap: Cornhole and Pie”

NaNoWriMo Day 23 Recap: Thanksgiving!

You all expected to see ZERO words today, didn’t you? Especially in light of the last few days? Well….so did I. But apparently having insomnia at 3 in the morning means getting word count in on a normally zero-word-count day. So 2,300 words it was! And a rather exhausting day of cooking after being upContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 23 Recap: Thanksgiving!”
