You’d think I’d learn by now that I’m not nearly an accomplished enough blogger to keep posting throughout November. Actually I think I did a fairly good job of it, all things considering. You would also think that I’d learn by now that, even outside of NaNoWriMo, November is never not insane. The shit always […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This last week my site was taken down by the ongoing malware attack that my mom’s server has been suffering. With a few hiccups I’m back up on a new sever. It’s going to take some time to sort things out again, and get everything how I want it. Until then the site is probably […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well. I survived the first day. Better then survived I think. I’ve passed my goal of 2,000 words AND made it to the write-in against the odds. I’m still in that early part of the draft before I’ve connected with the characters and where I realize that I haven’t thought about POV at all. Nothing […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I feel pretty accomplished. For the moment I don’t have any major commitments that need my immediate attention, and I have my project for NaNoWriMo outlined. I’m as prepared as I’ll ever be. This year I’m going back to straight up Fantasy. ‘The Empty Throne’ is the story of what happens twenty-odd years after an […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
What happened to my August? …What happened to my summer? Time has just slipped away from me – already the leaves are starting to change, they are balanced right at that odd color between green and gold. Every day they shift a little closer to gold. The temperature has dropped, and the winds have picked […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m never doing that again. And by ‘that’ I mean writing 15k in 24hrs. Or rather, writing 10k in two hours. My hands still twinge in pain; I am writing this with an odd combination of five fingers – two on one hand, three on the other. I suppose I should be thankful that I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It was a roadblock that I should have expected, but I didn’t, and it has utterly stalled me out. I wrote The End at about 27k, and since then I haven’t been able to summon up the will to write. Every time I sit down to write it’s with the thought of ‘but I’m doooooooone.’ […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Another week over, and am just a few thousand away from typing THE END. The problem is I’m not quite at 25k. So apparently outlining back to front doesn’t work for me! On the upside I managed to find that groove where the words come… not easy, but I don’t spend hours staring at the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Week one, and change, of NaNoWriMo has past by like a ship in the night. A viking ship. I’m tried to come up with another metaphor about hiding from viking raids, but my brain is creative mush. Gooey, gooey mush. Unfortunately I seem to have skipped a week, because my Week One looked an awful […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Winter NaNo is coming. When the site rebooted at the beginning of the month November seemed suddenly real. So much preparation, so little time. Life has already intruded, stirring the already muddy waters, but I’m determined to forge ahead. NaNoWriMo has gotten me through several difficult times – what is it about October-November and crises […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
