Camp NaNoWriMo and regular old NaNoWriMo have different "rules." Rules, in these things, are arbitrary anyway, but Camp, specifically, is about setting your own goals and getting there however you'd like. I decided to utilize camp, this year, to finish the third and last book in my still unnamed trilogy. If you remember, last NaNo… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo – A Start and Cheating

NaNoWriMo 2021 – On Par for Week 3
I'm, like, just hanging on, ya know? Mentally, I mean, about everything. It's been a rough week in a lot of ways, but surprisingly not in a writing capacity sorta way. In fact, two days ago I had a computer crash that lost a couple days of work (some of which I was able to… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2021 – On Par for Week 3
NaNoWriMo 2021: The Second Week Slump
I don't know that it's fair to call this a slump as I was impossibly busy last week, but my word count did drop dramatically. I am, however, still on target thanks to a banner week one! So, I missed the 13th, ruining my streak which is a huge personal bummer, but I was exhausted… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2021: The Second Week Slump
#1LineWed – Theme: Chaos
Not sure if "the depths of chaos" will be something to thank/swear to in the final version of my NaNoWriMo novel, but I like it well enough for now!
NaNoWriMo 2021 – First Friday Check In
We're five days into National Novel Writing Month, and while I was unsure at first if I would even indulge this year, the craziness that has been my last few weeks has lent itself perfectly to taking up the challenge once again, so here we are! I'm working on a sword and sorcery romcom featuring… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2021 – First Friday Check In
NaNoWriMo 2021 – Day 1
Well, today was a huge success as far as NaNo goes. It was also a success in general--I actually got to write! I haven't been able to devote time to work for about a week, and forget about grabbing ten or fifteen minutes here and there: I'm bad at focusing in short spurts when the… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2021 – Day 1
Okay, So, I Guess I Am Doing NaNo
Yeah, I gave in a couple days ago, and I'm just doing the dang thing. Things have been a wild mess the last week or so, and I haven't had time to write, so obviously the best choice was to add another project into the mix, right? Actually, setting up this project on the NaNo… Continue reading Okay, So, I Guess I Am Doing NaNo
October Mini Plotting
Demon Protection Program - working title I've been setting aside a little pocket of time every day to brainstorm a new project. It's nowhere near the drafting stage, it's just a huge host of characters, some raunchy situational comedy, and a vague idea about the apocalypse, but it's got potential! I've been watching New Girl,… Continue reading October Mini Plotting
NaNo Rebelling
I decided to record my progress on the NaNo site for the first time yesterday. Because I didn't bother to record every day's work (and because I honestly didn't know which day I did what), I just said I wrote 21k words in the span of an hour on the 12th. It's obviously untrue, and… Continue reading NaNo Rebelling
Nontraditional NaNo and Me
It's National Novel Writing Month, and this will be the first time in a long time that I won't be participating in a normal way. I'm sort of sad about that, especially since I'm actually in the exact kind of mood that writing a first draft of something requires (the desire to just kinda go… Continue reading Nontraditional NaNo and Me
