So much for writing throughout all of NaNo, hmm? Well, the truth is, my writing has been so sporadic and usually at such late hours, that I simply haven't made the time to update you all. For all that, however, I'm running fairly on time. I am at about 33,000 words and though it is… Continue reading NaNo Updates and Word Wars

NaNo Day 3 & 4
There's a reason I didn't do a post yesterday...I didn't finish my goal word count until 1:30 AM. I had to push pretty hard to make myself finish, and apparently I wrote myself out because so far today, I've done a grand total of 511 words. Instead of writing during the day yesterday, I cleaned,… Continue reading NaNo Day 3 & 4
NaNoWriMo Day 2 and Query Letters
It is 11:15 PM so I figured I should get in my blog post for the day. I'm not quite at my word count goal for the day, but I know I will reach it! I've got about 300 more to go, and I'll have written 3,000 today - ugh, I'd better get that in… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 2 and Query Letters
Deep Dives
It's been a few weeks. And if you don't follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you have no idea where I went. I promise I had good reason for disappearing. In summary, I was doing a deep dive into my three main projects. And here are the results: Drawn Into Love: I know, I know… Continue reading Deep Dives
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, I… Continue 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 out… Continue 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 I… Continue 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 am… Continue 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 to… Continue 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 .… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 5: Epic progress
