Yeeesss. I almost petered out…but I didn’t! I got in my 3,000 words yesterday as well, and I am having the most fun time describing this temple in Ethrill. I’m probably going to end up cutting most of this description, but it is rather essential for me to know all the inner workings of thisContinueContinue reading “Leftovers and more words”

The Hallmark Writing Game
I wrote 4,000 words yesterday. I know, I know. That isn’t nearly enough to catch up on how behind I am, but you have to admit, it’s pretty good. Especially considering how exhausted I was after Election Day, that I also finished two books I was in the middle of, and…nope, that’s it. That’s allContinueContinue reading “The Hallmark Writing Game”
NaNoWriMo 2022
Guess what month it is? That’s right! National Novel Writing Month! And…it’s November 2nd. Is this the first time in years that I haven’t posted on Nov. 1st for NaNo? Quite possibly. Yesterday was an off day for me. Okay, all week has been an off week for me. But, for those of you concerned,ContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo 2022”
Winning NaNoWriMo
I know – I abandoned all of you halfway through the month! Sorry. . . but on the bright side, despite all my constant complaints about falling behind, I WON! And for perhaps the first time, I finished AHEAD OF TIME! I completed 50k words on Saturday, and, perhaps the biggest miracle of all, IContinueContinue reading “Winning NaNoWriMo”
Once Upon a Short Story
I am pleased to say I am well on my way to catching up from the weekend. Yesterday I wrote approximately 3,500 words! Today I intend to do the same…though I have successfully avoided writing all day and it is already 3:30. I have, however, submitted another short story to another magazine and sent outContinueContinue reading “Once Upon a Short Story”
Behind the Word Count. . . Again
My goal on Friday was to catch up on my word count. AND I DID! Over 4,000 words later, I was completely caught up. And then, of course, came the weekend. We had an Operation Christmas Child Packing Party on Saturday (packed 95 boxes!), which means I didn’t write anything that day and, because IContinueContinue reading “Behind the Word Count. . . Again”
Procrastination, Productivity, and Rejection
NanoWrimo Days 9 – 11: I’ll be honest. I didn’t write ANYTHING on the 9th. Which means all the “making up” I did for while I was gone over the weekend promptly disappeared. So, I’m around 3,000 words behind right now (maybe a little less – I did write 2,000ish yesterday!). In total, I amContinueContinue reading “Procrastination, Productivity, and Rejection”
NaNoWriMo Days 6 – 8
As mentioned in my previous post, my husband and I drove down to Florida for a wedding this past weekend. You know what that means? 24 hours in a car and lots of social interaction! Don’t get me wrong, it was fun, but it didn’t leave much time for writing. I am too scared toContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Days 6 – 8”
NaNoWriMo Day 5: Epic progress
You thought you were going to escape my potential daily update, didn’t you? Well, you almost did. It IS 11:48 PM here, after all. We had a wedding in Florida today, and drove for 12 hours to get here in time for a family dinner. But I was prepared for this. Yesterday, I wrote .ContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 5: Epic progress”
NaNoWriMo Day 4: All the Words
I wrote over 3,000 words yesterday! Okay, so it was purposeful since I will be on the road tomorrow and have significant doubts as to whether or not I’ll get ANY writing done, but I’m pretty pleased with my progress. I finally got through the hard part – writing about the little girl escaping fromContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 4: All the Words”
