Yesterday was pretty good too, not going to lie! I wrote…drumroll please…2,820 words! So not quite as much as the first day, but still well above the suggested word count! Of course, I’m not saying it’s any good – but that isn’t the point of NaNo, right? I mean, we just need to get thatContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 2 Recap: Great Progress”

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”
Finishing NaNo
I swear I didn’t abandon you. No. Strike that. I did. I totally abandoned you all. So, here is the update you all have been waiting…has it already been a week???….for: YES, I DID FINISH MY WORDS! I almost gave up. Multiple times. But I didn’t. And I’m so glad. It doesn’t quite feel asContinueContinue reading “Finishing NaNo”
Slogging Through
You know, I am beginning to wonder if whoever decided on National Novel Writing Month being in November hated the holidays. Or had no family. Because, seriously, am I the only one who finds it impossible to find time to write the day before, the day of, and the day after Thanksgiving? Especially when youContinueContinue reading “Slogging Through”
Wall of Tears
All right, last time, I promised you all news! And the news is…I wrote over 2,000 words yesterday! Okay, I’m kidding. I mean, I did write over 2,000 words yesterday, but the TRUE news, which those of you who follow me on social media already know, is that I won third place in The Writer’sContinueContinue reading “Wall of Tears”
National Frontier Trails Museum
We drove fifteen and a half hours yesterday…and instead of writing during lunch and in the evening when Daniel was able to drive, I slept half the time. Apparently, I was tired. Well, I can catch up again, right? That’s how life goes, though. Best laid plans and all that. This morning we got toContinueContinue reading “National Frontier Trails Museum”
On the road and 2,000 words
I am currently writing this at 7:00 AM on the road to Oklahoma to spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws. Well, technically, we are going to Missouri first. We normally at least try to make it all the way to Oklahoma in one shot (18 hours), but due to alternate circumstances, we aren’t supposed to arriveContinueContinue reading “On the road and 2,000 words”
All the Bananas and all the words
Apparently, when you have a lot of description to write because you are figuring out how the world in your fantasy works, you can get a lot of words in. Which means…over 4,000 words yesterday! I may have also realized that we are leaving for Oklahoma on Friday, which means a 12-hour driving day (stoppingContinueContinue reading “All the Bananas and all the words”
Leftovers and more words
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”
3,000 Words and a Book Proposal
And she has returned! With a wealth of words. Okay, 3,000 words isn’t a wealth, but compared to the dearth of words last week, It’s like a stocking overflowing with candy. Just saying. Oh, my gosh, people. Yesterday was a day of catching up. I would like you all to know that I not onlyContinueContinue reading “3,000 Words and a Book Proposal”
