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”
Three Months of Events
I’m back! Yes, I know I didn’t post all weekend. I spent Friday and Saturday working the ACFW VA conference, and managed to fit in all of….ten words, maybe? Hey, it’s better than nothing! Okay, not by much. BUT, it was a good conference, if exhausting, filled with so much information that I now effectivelyContinueContinue reading “Three Months of Events”
Only 500 Words
Yesterday was…500 words. “Oh, no! What happened?” Yes, I hear all of your sympathetic cries. Thank you. I appreciate the concern. So, what happened is that it has been a crazy week and we still had a bunch of supplies and stuff sitting out from our OCC packing party, despite all the work I didContinueContinue reading “Only 500 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”
None of the words…or the Panic
I finally made more progress! And by more progress, I mean that I wrote 2100 words today…I mean, yesterday…since I’m writing this post at 10:00 PM and scheduling it for 7:00 AM. Which isn’t bad…unless you are like 9,000 words behind….Oh well. We still had a wreck of a house from our OCC Packing Party,ContinueContinue reading “None of the words…or the Panic”
Weekend Distractions
So much for writing every day of NaNo, huh? Well, I have a good excuse, I promise! Saturday was our annual Operation Christmas Child Packing Party – a party in which we invite all of our friends to bring toys and eat lots of good food while they help pack shoeboxes for children overseas. OfContinueContinue reading “Weekend Distractions”
