NaNoWriMo Day 29 Recap: SUCCESS

I know I didn’t update before this posted, but here it is! The problem is, I MADE IT! Yup, I made my 50k words, closed the computer, and forgot about writing else. They aren’t great words, as one might expect, but I have a new story going and that alone is enough.

NaNoWriMo Day 28 Recap: 8 Kids

Guys. I am proud of myself. Yesterday, I got in 3,000 words! Yup. My best day in awhile, and, barring disaster (or distraction), I should be able to get in the rest today and/or tomorrow! And, in case you don’t think that is impressive, I would like to note that I am visiting my sister’sContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 28 Recap: 8 Kids”

NaNoWriMo Day 27 Recap: A History of Idaho

Another day of driving all day yesterday resulted in about 700 words written. But, you know, it is hard to actually write in the car – there are so many distractions!! So I’ll still take all the praise for a job well done. So there. In other news…it is amazing, isn’t it, how writing oneContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 27 Recap: A History of Idaho”

NaNoWriMo Day 26 Recap: Packing and Wrapping

In preparation for the second part of our three week trip, today was mostly spent packing our things and wrapping gifts so we can do gift exchanges while we are visiting family.

NaNoWriMo Day 25 Recap: Trees – Christmas and Dangerous

Today was weird…I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t get words written…I woke up late from a dream in which most of my teeth had been knocked out and broken pieces that remained kept falling and filling my mouth. So that was fun. At some point I made the filling for the stuffed acorn squashContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 25 Recap: Trees – Christmas and Dangerous”

NaNoWriMo Day 24 Recap: Cornhole and Pie

I apparently am one day off on my NaNoToons…Oh, well. You still get to enjoy them! Anyway, I actually just didn’t remember to update today before it published, for those of you who saw the initial post go up before I edited it. Because I actually got in 2,000 words yesterday, which I was quiteContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 24 Recap: Cornhole and Pie”

NaNoWriMo Day 23 Recap: Thanksgiving!

You all expected to see ZERO words today, didn’t you? Especially in light of the last few days? Well….so did I. But apparently having insomnia at 3 in the morning means getting word count in on a normally zero-word-count day. So 2,300 words it was! And a rather exhausting day of cooking after being upContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 23 Recap: Thanksgiving!”

NaNoWriMo Day 21 Recap: Pitching and Playing

Okay, it’s a REALLY GOOD THING I was doing so well at the beginning of the month because I’m making up for it now (seriously, why does this take place the month of Thanksgiving??), but I had a REALLY GOOD EXCUSE. Part of the day anyway. I was finishing preparing for and then actually doingContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 21 Recap: Pitching and Playing”

NaNoWriMo Day 20 Recap: Nada. Distracted by war movies.

Wow. Me having these on auto-schedule is really coming back to bite! I keep forgetting to update them before they go up! But at least it makes me come back and actually update you all. Yesterday, I…didn’t do a thing. Well. I didn’t think I did. I looked at Scrivener, which has informed me thatContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 20 Recap: Nada. Distracted by war movies.”
