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
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
“Read [...]
HOW Did They Know?
I tell you, this is really eerie. I just want to know, how do the folks at NaNoWriMo know exactly what’s going through my mind?
I’m asking because I just received the latest inspirational get-back-to-it email from NaNoWriMo, this one written by author Meg Cabot, and in it she says,
Maybe you’re just thinking of taking a [...]
Some Tuesday Night Thoughts
Or perhaps I should title this post “Meeting my NaBoPloMo Requirement for the Day”.
Renovations, Not Yet
Seriously, though, I had been planning to blog all about our renovation plans, which were supposed to start tomorrow. I took pictures of the area that will be transformed in the space of the next four weeks, and everything! [...]
Things I’m Learning with NaNoWriMo
It’s Day 6 of NaNoWriMo, and I’m now at around 5700 words. A little behind in terms of reaching the 50,000 word goal but I’m okay with that. My own personal goal is to take the time to sit down and write a part of my novel – anything – every single day this month. [...]
So thankful for technically-inclined friends
I’m writing this with a happy heart (and fully in the spirit of procrastination, of course. November is my Procrastination month, you know). I am so thankful for technically inclined friends, especially Ann-Kat, who answered my call for help – as in, help! I can’t seem to enter my word count at NaNoWriMo!
Since I happen [...]
First Day of NaNoWriMo
… and I had been worried I wouldn’t start today. But I did. And I have to say, I’m very surprised by one thing.
When something “sticky” comes up, some passage or phrase or action that isn’t working out right, I’m not stopping and trying to fix it. I’m just ploughing through the thing, going to [...]
