It’s the end of November already – this month has passed by so fast, and I’ve both accomplished a ton of stuff, and not done everything I’ve wanted to do.
NaNoWriMo: I didn’t reach my 50,000 words on the one hand, but my initial goal was never to do that. It was to simply get [...]

November Wrap-up
What’s Your Blog’s Personality Type?
Joanne at The Book Zombie just posted about the Typealyzer – you put in your blog’s URL and it gives you your blog’s personality type!

The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft [...]
Dylan’s Drawings: Envelope with hearts, Pepperoni pizza and Wii veggies
Dylan drew these today and asked me to post them to “the website on Firefox”. I was very happy to see these, because he hasn’t done very much drawing for most of this week. But today he was back to his usual form.
First up is a very sweet envelope with hearts:
Envelope with Hearts
Then we have [...]
Going for 5,000 words again today
I’m starting now, and I’m not sure I’ll get to 5000 words, but I’m sure going to try! I will update this post later with my actual word count.
Update: Didn’t quite make it to 5,000 words. Word count: 3806. But I’m happy with it!
4,273 Words Today
I was aiming for 5,000, but I’m going to stop right now. It’s going to sound a little bit silly, but my NaNo novel is a bit on the spooky side, and it’s dark out now. Everyone is in bed. I’m the only one up.
Yep, my own story’s starting to spook me.
So I’m [...]
The Sunday Salon – 3BT: Books, books and books

6,070 Words Today (Technically)
I’m kind of pinching myself, because I don’t really believe it. But that’s what my writing software says. And I’m putting the word “technically” in my post, because this is what happened.
Last night, at 12:30 am (so technically, today), I started writing. I finished at 2:00 a.m. and had 2,581 words. When I started writing [...]
Wisdom
Wow. More inspiration. I found this at Jamie’s blog, Starshyne Productions, and it was absolutely inspiring. What we can achieve! And so much experience, so much wisdom.

And then there’s Jamie’s beautiful blog post on being present, choosing life. I loved reading about her breakthrough.
This is two days in a [...]
Some Writing Motivation
I was stuck in the writing of my NaNoWriMo novel, stuck at that part where it just doesn’t feel very good to me at all. And then last night, a funny thing happened.
I was surfing around, and came across this quote by Stephen King. It sounds like it’s from On Writing, though I’m not sure.
