NaNoWriMo Day 11 Recap: Sore Feet

I know, if anything, you’d expect to see sore fingers on here – from typing so hard! But I am pretty sure everything is sore except my fingers. Because yesterday, as I mentioned yesterday, was our annual Operation Christmas Child Party! I think it was like our 11th or 12th. I’ve lost track at thisContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 11 Recap: Sore Feet”

NaNoWriMo Day 10 Recap: Fitting it in

Today we are hosting our annual Operation Christmas Child Packing Party which means yesterday was…prep day! Okay, who am I kidding? We do a majority of prep today, but as much as we can the day before. So Daniel actually took the day off, and we ran out first thing in the morning to doContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 10 Recap: Fitting it in”

NaNoWriMo Day 9 Recap: Galloping Along

I know, I know – you may have already seen the non-update version of this post, but I’m updating it for those who haven’t yet, or who come back to see if I updated. 😛 I actually met a friend at Panera yesterday for a writing session! And apparently being forced to sit in aContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 9 Recap: Galloping Along”

NaNoWriMo Day 8 Recap: All the Words

Apparently I should have save the “On Fire” tag for yesterday! Because yesterday, folks, I wrote over 5,000 words Yup. I did. And how, you may ask, did I stay concentrated for so long? Well, I did a reward system. I am, as mentioned in a previous post, finally reading the Percy Jackson series andContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 8 Recap: All the Words”

NaNoWriMo Day 7 Recap: On Fire!

Okay. Well, maybe not QUITE on fire. But, let me tell you about my day yesterday. I went to bed at 10:30 the night before. Tossed and turned for who knew how long. Woke up to my alarm at 3:50 AM, finally dragging myself out of bed at 4:00 AM, was out the door byContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 7 Recap: On Fire!”

NaNoWriMo Day 6 Recap: Back on Track

I finally got back on track! I did a writing session with my sister in which we did my Hallmark Writing Game, and I got in almost 3k words, plus 300 from earlier in the day. I also, earlier than that, revised a scene in PoP, and was annoyed that I didn’t feel justified inContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 6 Recap: Back on Track”

NaNoWriMo Day 5 Recap: Just a Little

I didn’t write much yesterday – I believe it was a grand total of like 700 words. But a little is better than nothing, right? That is what progress is. One step at a time. One moment at a time. One hope at a time. Every little bit is better than nothing at all, soContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 5 Recap: Just a Little”

NaNoWriMo Day 4 Recap: Slow but Sure

I wrote only a thousand words yesterday. Not even the requisite 1,667. But at least I’d gotten ahead on the other days! Well, the first couple days. So I’m still not technically behind…unless you count being behind my SISTER, who somehow shot up to 10k words today! But you know, considering I was also doingContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 4 Recap: Slow but Sure”

NaNoWriMo Day 3 Recap: I’ll Take It

Yesterday was the first day of the ACFW Virginia conference, which I, as part of the board, was helping put on! That means that I was busy from 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM. So many workshops, so much learning and instruction! And then, of course, all the cautions about how much work it is toContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 3 Recap: I’ll Take It”

NaNoWriMo Day 1 Recap: Getting Started

Why, yes – yes, it is indeed that time of year again! Don’t look at me. I didn’t see this coming. The day before, I was like, wait, I have to write over a 1,000 words tomorrow??? But, not only did I succeed in doing so…I wrote 3,000! And that’s probably the last time I’llContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 1 Recap: Getting Started”
