Nanowrimo is cancelled … sort of
So if like me you’ve been participating in NANOWRIMO in November every year, you’ve probably heard that they are out of commission. The website and business side hit some struggles and didn’t recover. However, for me, Nano was something I looked forward to every year. I didn’t go to the events or participate in the Continue reading

NANOWRIMO Winner
I have been busy with NANOWRIMO, and I won! This means that I wrote 50,000 words of a new novel. The question is… what now? Honestly, for the story I worked on for NANOWRIMO, I don’t know. Usually when I finish, I put it aside for at least a month and then take a look Continue reading

Post NANOWRIMO Plans
As of 11:55 pm last night, I met my NANOWRIMO goal of writing a new novel’s first draft of 50,000 words. I started on Nov. 1. It’s a lot of writing in less than a month. And it leaves my brain feeling overworked, but it’s also a very rewarding process. This year I started writing Continue reading

NANOWRIMO Eve
Okay, so somehow, it is the last day of October already. Seems impossible to me, but somehow, it’s happened again. It’s the end of a month, and I’m still behind on basically everything I want to get done. However, the time for procrastinating is over because tomorrow NANOWRIMO starts! And yes, despite being horribly behind Continue reading

Nanowrimo Winner 2022
I have won NANOWRIMO! Woot woot! I just finished writing 50,000 words this month. And now I don’t want to even think about the draft. As a more traditional NANOer, I don’t edit as I write. (I do check spelling). So, here is the first chapter of my very, very rough novel titled Solved by Continue reading

Trying Something New
In addition to editing my novel, I am brainstorming for this year’s NANOWRIMO. At this point in the year, I try to gather and read through any unused ideas that I have stashed away. I keep them all in a notebook. Occasionally, I pull it out and write down more, or if I have thoughts Continue reading

Prepping for NANOWRIMO 2021
It’s that time of year again. The time when I decide whether or not to join NANOWRIMO. And like the last three years, I’m in. This year though I’m starting something completely new! Which is exciting and terrifying. If you follow me, you know that the last three years I’ve worked on my series: The Continue reading
