I mean...wow, go me. And it makes sense; this book had the clearest, concisest outline I've ever done even though I hacked it to absolute bits at the end of last month when I decided that this standalone, planned out to be about 80k words total, was going to be blown up into a 300k+… Continue reading So, I Finished A Draft In Record Time

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

I'm learning skills to make the… Continue reading Final Update And A Win! – Camp NaNoWriMo April 2020
Post NaNo Wrap Up And Planning For 2019
Well, so much for Blogmas! Actually, I didn't plan on doing Blogmas, so I'm not behind or anything, but I would like to post regularly on here again. I need to find a way to do so that isn't as severe as every day, but not as wanting as every week. I have been writing,… Continue reading Post NaNo Wrap Up And Planning For 2019
