I sat down and did 10 sprints of 10 minutes each this morning broken up into two blocks by breaking my fast with a smoothie bowl, and I'm going to be totally honest with you, Dear Reader: they felt really fucking good. I'll get into the specifics of what I'm doing in a post later… Continue reading Day 1 – Care About It

Camp NaNoWriMo Redux
I've been going back and forth on whether I should blog about this or not and came to the conclusion that...it really doesn't matter, so I may as well. I'll be taking part in Camp NaNoWriMo again in July (aka to-freaking-morrow). I tried camp out in April and failed miserably, so miserably that I didn't… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo Redux
Plotting v Pantsing
I've got a project that I'll be working on in July (maybe for NaNo???), and for the first time possibly ever I'm sitting down and really, truly, honest-to-goodness-ly plotting my ass off. Now, Dear Reader, usually I'm the kind of writer who flies by the seat of her pants. A pantser, if you will. I… Continue reading Plotting v Pantsing
Preparing for Camp NaNoWriMo
Camp NaNoWriMo will be upon us in four short days. Dear Reader, I am psyched! Here's how I'm getting ready. Packed My Tent - Since moving, we've turned one of our two bedrooms into an office. I've got my desk in the back of the room, looking out onto it (so no demons or ghosts… Continue reading Preparing for Camp NaNoWriMo
Here We Go Again: Camp NaNo
Remember NaNo? Well, apparently they do a spring edition (and I think a summer one too), and I guess I'm on board! I consider last year a success even though I didn't win. I completed 31,882 words over the course of the 30 days that was November 2017, and it felt pretty damn good, especially… Continue reading Here We Go Again: Camp NaNo
Letting Your Writing Sit
I wanted to call this post "Take A Break From Your Writing" but sometimes people just read headers, and I'd be remiss, Dear Reader, if that's all someone took away from this post. Everyone gets overwhelmed and burnt out at some point, and taking a break isn't necessarily bad, but I don't think I'd really… Continue reading Letting Your Writing Sit
Reminder: Vacancy is coming back on January 1st!
This may only be exciting for me, but I'm very proud to announce that my serial fiction is coming back starting Monday, January 1, 2018! Vacancy is a supernatural, fantasy fiction serial I began posting to the blog way back in 2016, then used as my project for NaNoWriMo 2017 and am planning to begin posting… Continue reading Reminder: Vacancy is coming back on January 1st!
So Close, But Still So Far
There are just nine more days of NaNo, including today. NINE. That doesn't seem like enough for 20,000 more words, but it really needs to be because ya girl is BEHIND. On the plus side, this is the farthest I've ever come. I'm still excited about what I'm writing, I'm confident it can be edited… Continue reading So Close, But Still So Far
Day 7
It's been seven days of NaNo. This is exhausting, but I'm able to actually keep up the pace. How? I've got a lot of support behind me this time. People alongside me, working their butts off and being inspiring, people supporting me and letting me bounce ideas off of them. It's making writing feel like… Continue reading Day 7
