I did it! I won NaNoWriMo 2015! Whew. It was a hard-fought struggle sometimes. At one point I accidentally deleted a scene that I’d planned to delete after November, but had already written. Those were 1500 or so words I had to replace with 1500 better words. But I battled through…
…so this happened. Pirate is my default at Halloween. I think it’s because pirates can be pretty and fierce at the same time. And also pretty fierce. Also, it’s remarkably easy to be a pirate with stuff I already have, which says something about my wardrobe choices. Anyway, being a…
Ten years ago I signed up for NaNoWriMo and wrote the novel I’m currently querying. I took this strange, new approach to novel-writing and called it a vacation–I took a vacation from what I usually wrote, which is epic fantasy, and decided to experiment with urban fantasy. I allowed myself…
Just signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo. No idea why, except that, hey, I wrote 32K last month, so I ought to be able to write 50K this month, right? Especially since my goal is to finish the original novel revision by August 30. Let’s hope, anyway. Also, I’m signed up…
WOOHOO!!!!! 26161 / 50000 (52.32%) I broke the halfway point today and had just over 6,000 words! Heading to bed early (haha, yes, 1:30 am is early these days) as a reward, and tomorrow I get to play Dragon Age or Warcraft for a couple of hours. I’m on a…
Finally, this novel (or this novelist) is picking up steam! Woohoo! 17056 / 50000 (34.11%) :)
Lemme tell you, this has been a really crappy NaNo so far. Not for any reason except this: my discipline is broken. I have a plot I love, characters I love, and a setting I absolutely and completely love. I just have no butt-in-chair-ness. But today, I said I was…
I validated last night, in the middle of the scene that is about to ramp our characters up into the climax of the novel. Chloe and Braxton aren’t talking to each other. As soon as Martin finds out about that, he won’t be talking to Chloe either. Fortunately, Jason and…
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAAAAAAY! I just officially caught up to where I’m supposed to be and even passed it! It’s a good thing, because I had completely forgotten I made plans for November 30. Of course, there’s still a good chance I’ll skip those plans so I can finish the novel. I’m getting…
I'll never share your information with anyone else. You'll get fortnightly emails from me about what I'm working on, and every once in a while I send out exclusive freebies to my email list.
