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”

NaNoWriMo Day 3: Slow but Sure?
I know, I said Day 3 and it’s technically Day 4, but I am updating you about the day before, so I’m technically still right. Yesterday, I once again waited until evening to get my words in, and then attempted to do them while watching a movie (without pressing pause) and through election results. NeedlessContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 3: Slow but Sure?”
NaNoWriMo Day 2: Painful Progress
Despite writing now being my full-time job, I managed to put off writing my NaNo words yesterday until late. My husband was delighted to be able to make jokes about me “having one job” and “working overtime”. I SQUEEZED out like 500 words before dinner, and then, while having dinner and playing a game, managedContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 2: Painful Progress”
National Novel Writing Month: It Begins
I know my weekly post isn’t due until Wednesday, but guess what? It’s National Novel Writing Month! And you all know that means I always blog more than usual. So, I’ve decided to forego the “proper” technique of doing blog posts on a schedule for the month and post as much as I want toContinueContinue reading “National Novel Writing Month: It Begins”
NaNoWriMo Day 26: 22,300 Words
For anyone else doing NaNo, you can tell it isn’t going super well. Weirdly, I seem to be a little behind on the 43,000 words I am supposed to be at . . .but for how many days I have skipped writing, this actually isn’t that awful. And, I know I should just be laughingContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 26: 22,300 Words”
NaNo (10,280) and Life
I have gotten little done for NaNo, though I have every intention of catching up at some point. It’s always hard when you have visitors. I once again don’t like what’s happening in my story, but rather than rewrite it, I’ve decided to make my character a little older and see if that helps fixContinueContinue reading “NaNo (10,280) and Life”
NaNoWriMo Day 8
As you may already know from our Ingleside blog, my friend and I started NaNo off right this year – with a 3-day cruise! That’s right! And, while the first day we wrote all of 500 words, we more than made up for it the second day, and were well on track by the timeContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 8”
Rejection and Life
Would you like to know WHY it has been over a month since I’ve written? Because I have literally spent half (possibly over half) of my nights away from home – mostly work trips, though a couple personal, and in between trying to catch up on schoolwork! However, class is now over (officially ended yesterdayContinueContinue reading “Rejection and Life”
Jobs, Thanksgiving, and NaNo
I was healthy for the first two days of my new job – and then sick for a week and a half. The second week of my job I lost my voice and couldn’t even talk. Is there anything worse than not even being able to answer properly when the director/vice president of your newContinueContinue reading “Jobs, Thanksgiving, and NaNo”
Three Life Facts . . .
. . . that are true for me right now. I got sick my first week at a new job. Like, seriously???? It could only happen to me. Thursday and Friday – sore/swollen throat and lots of congestion. Yesterday – a not very happy cough and today lost my voice as well. Great first impression,ContinueContinue reading “Three Life Facts . . .”
