It’s nano month which is when individuals try to write a complete 50k novel in the 30 days of the month. I’ve done this for years and enjoy it. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. LOL. I always end up with a workable novel though. For my day 4 totals, I managed 7473 words.…

   
Happy hump day. If you haven’t figured it out, the month of November will be filled with nano gripes and highs. This is as good as any opportunity to really see inside an author’s head and watch their process. Obviously so much more goes on at the back end when the story is done but…

   
Its week 2 of nanowrimo and I’m pretty sure its my worst nano year ever. LOLOL. I can’t dig into the story like I need to but I’ll keep pushing through. So far I’m at 5k. 🙁 Ugh. Here’s a tiny peek at all the rough glory of my work in progress. Before she could…

   
I got a lot on my plate with 2 books in progress so why am I even LOOKING at NANO. I admit its because NANO makes me feel lucky AND its a time when everyone is uniting in an effort to explore and enjoy the world of writing. So there you have it. I’m going…

As a result without doing last ditch acrobatics, I’m pretty sure I’m finishing the month with…

   
I guess one could say I’m 10 days in though I technically didn’t start until 11/3, I think. At least that’s the story I’m going with. I have made good strides from that disastrous 500 word sprint. I’m currently around 9k and some change. Nothing to write home about but the story is finally moving…

   
This is the final stretch my nano brethren. Almost a full week left to rev the engines and bring your project home at 50k. How are you doing? Stressed? In a panic? If you’re in the US, the holiday this week could be a plus or minus. A plus if you get extra time off…

   
This year it seems like nano is flying by rather quickly. We’re already 9 day into the national writing marathon and have 2 weekends under our belt. I definitely made up for the sluggish week with a great word count on Friday and Saturday. Of course, Sunday wasn’t as good to me and I closed…
