I stopped updating my NaNoWriMo count in the middle of November. This wasn’t me falling off the wagon of writing words, although my pace was no where near 1,667 a day. That was me learning about accusations about NaNoWriMo’s Young Writer’s Program (YWP) having been used to groom children. While I continued writing, I stopped updating […]

First, let me remind you of my last post. 😉 My plans posting in the month of October fell through. I didn’t have the mental energy to work on my Halloween posts, mostly because I was busy finishing up my Halloween costume and working on Christmas presents for my coworkers. For non-crafters, if you want
It’s That Time Of The Year… Read More »
If you’ve noticed I’ve been pretty hit-or-miss on this blog. I didn’t do my annual Things That Go Bump In The Night posts for this year, mostly because I didn’t have the bandwidth this year to do the research. I left a note to myself to start in August and then was sidetracked with

November was a crazy, successful month. I ended up writing a total of 50,456 words total on Chaos Hunt. About 40,000 of them are actually reusable due to rewrites on the fly. My policy is if I wrote it, it counts, even if I had to go back and rewrite from another point of view.
Quick Note: Chaos Wolf is on sale for $2.99 through November 30th as part of Book Nook Nuts Thankful 4 Book Boyfriends Book Fest! This is the last week of NaNoWriMo. I’m still on pace, although the novel is no where near done. But with any luck, I will have the first 50,000 words of Chaos Hunt done

I do this every year. I think I’m going to have my holiday gifts for work done in October so I don’t have to worry about them while I’m writing in November. Guess what I’m trying to work on simultaneously? Currently I’m slightly ahead of pace and trying to pad my buffer. This post originally

I have made it through my first week and while not hitting my goal of 1800 words every day, I am managing to make the world count goal to stay on pace to finish 50,000 words by November 30th. This post first appeared at Musings Of Two Creative Minds on May 15, 2018. Aside from

Also known as Oh God, What Have I Gotten Myself Into Month! It’s that time of year when coffee houses are suddenly fuller. It’s not a sudden influx of people looking for their seasonal pumpkin spice fix. No, they’re all toting laptops or tablets or notebooks. Gathering in clusters or tucking themselves into a corner,

So, this week hasn’t gone well. I doubt I will make the 50,000 words needed to win NaNoWriMo. I’m not going to make excuses. I had a strong suspicion this was going to happen, and despite that, I didn’t take any steps to prevent it. Mostly, I let myself get too distracted by other writing
Remember last week how I said I should be able to catch up in my word count? I was too ambitious. A combination of real-life events and the necessity of tweaking my website sidetracked me. While I did rewrite half of the outline for the story, I’ve only been able to poke at my word
