NaNoWrimo 2009: Pwned!!

2009-12-01T07:05:31Z

Congrats to the participants of NaNoWriMo 2009! I just finished my novel with a couple hours to spare and it feels so good-- just not at the moment. I'm so tired right now, but I'm sure it will really feel good tomorrow! If you want to know what...

NaNo update #10: I did it!

2009-11-30T17:45:38Z

Woohoo! Why yes, Virginia, I can write 50,000 words worth of fiction in thirty days. However crappy those words may be, they are mine all mine. Of course, I may only be a third of the way through the book. And I am certainly ready for a vacation ...

NaNo update #9

2009-11-30T12:06:04Z

Eek! It's the final day, and I'm behind! Stupid Thanksgiving. I've been trying to catch up for the last couple days, but I have the attention span of a peanut. Seriously. One or two sentences and I'm off piddling away on the internet or - get this...

50,950 Words, For The Win

2009-11-30T07:32:07Z

I pulled it off at 1.28 am on November 30! The novel isn't finished of course, not even half-finished, and the editing will be a killer. But the important thing is, I did it. A careful look at the image will show you the usual suspects of procras...

Jane Doe's Suicide Post

2009-11-16T22:42:59Z

For the first time, I have heavily censored a post. I am strongly pro-1st Amendment, and it doesn't sit right with me to do this. But there is no resolution of this situation that is going to make anyone feel better, so I have decided to respect...

A Friend's Suicide

2009-08-20T20:44:09Z

I stopped posting to my blog when something shocking and personal happened, and I didn't know whether it was right to post it for the world to read or not. On the one hand, a woman cutting herself off from her friends and committing suicide in a ...

NaNo update #8

2009-11-16T08:30:57Z

It's November 15 (well, it was a few minutes ago) - the half way point. The day when NaNoers ought to reach 25,000 words of their 50k target if they want that steady-paced success. And I am so there! Past there, actually. After a week of the dull...

Halfway to a manuscript

2009-11-12T21:03:20Z

This month is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The challenge is to write 50,000 words during the month of Nov. I dove in immediately after the World Fantasy Convention. The great people I met at the convention must have inspired me bec...

NaNo update #7

2009-11-11T07:42:37Z

Forgot to update yesterday. But I guess now that I'm caught up, the drama of the daily struggle has lessened and the only jucy thing remaining is what story elements I will choose to divulge. (Am I sounding like a writer yet? ^__^) Also, being ca...

NaNo update #6

2009-11-09T08:27:59Z

Whew! I caught up (13,407 words)! [hoorah! hoorah! - the crowd of one in my apartment goes wild!] And I just barely made it. Okay, I sort of cheated, but not really. I'd written a couple hundred words in Michigan on the first day, but decided I d...
