Hello, dear friends. Today is a very special day. First: It’s the last day of National Novel Writing Month and I’m happy to say that I met my goal of 50,000 words on Thanksgiving Day, giving me the weekend to relax and live in the moment. Yay! Second and most […]
A very quick post here to record my progress in NaNoWriMo so far: 41,311 words. Unless I quit now (which I won’t), I should complete 50,000 by end of the month. And then I will have 50k+ words of pure confusion. What I’m working on originated as a short story, […]
Hello, dear friends, I’m pausing for a few moments to let you all know that I’m still alive and well (or as one of my yoga friends puts it, “still vertical and sucking air!”). NaNoWriMo is going well as far as my word count: reached just over 30,000 words today. […]
One of the pleasures of participating in NaNoWriMo is losing myself in my writing. When I come up for air, I might be a 30-something, petite, blonde who works as a city attorney, wheeling and dealing with developers while trying to keep safe her own parcel of heaven. Or I […]
Yup, here I go again. Time for NaNoWriMo (that’s National Novel Writing Month for those of you who have been living under a rock for the last several years). I signed up again for the insanity of writing 50,000 words in a month. I’m starting to think that this is […]
This has been an interesting experiment. I’ve posted poems and short fiction and “formal” essays before on my blog, but never a whole novel. Well, I still haven’t done that. You see, my plan originally was to just post a couple of the early chapters and then throw myself into […]
Enuf said. Happy Turkey Day or Tofurkey Day, everyone! I finished at 50,132 words. Thanks to everyone who hung in there with me! And thanks to the team at NaNoWriMo! And, yeah, I’m getting me one of these:
Hey, everybody, I feel like I’ve been so deep in NaNoWriMo land and posting the progress of my WIP, Clemency, that you all may have forgotten what I look like. Yes, I now have blue hair as well as pink. In the right light, my husband says I look patriotic. […]
You remember this, from last year, don’t you? It will be my official cup of java starting November 1. That’s TOMORROW! Several days ago, I introduced the idea of posting part of a novel on my blog, the parts already written, while I slave away at trying to […]
I hate planning because, more often than not, my plans get upended by unforeseen circumstances. For example, … I plan to finish a painfully detailed and tedious project at work by week’s end only to find an error in my SQL query which means I will have to fix said […]
