I’ve been a bit lax on blogging since before Thanksgiving. NANOWRIMO had me busy, so did traveling for work, so did all the holidays. I’m fairly sure that I’m not an isolated case–everything seems to get back on track after the New Year.
That’s the case in particular with my writing. I’ve not made resolutions, but [...]

I’ve not really been cursing NANOWRIMO…mostly just cussing out myself for being so behind. I’m at 20,005 words when I should be closer to 30,000. But I have two full days to catch up before we get wrapped up in Thanksgiving, so hopefully I can get a little closer.
I wrote a curse scene today, another [...]

I’m behind a bit…almost 16k words but will be out much of this week. Will try and get some writing done here and there but next weekend will be some hardcore catch-up for me. Taking off next Mon-Wed as well so I’ll have five days straight of writing writing writing. Might get some in tonight [...]

Neck loathes me.

1686 words = 11,094 total = an aching neck and back for sitting hunched over my laptop for so many hours in the last few days…

Wow. I wrung another 4077 words out today. Total for NANOWRIMO: 9408 or 19% of the way there. Not too bad for only being four days in. I figure that there will be at least 6-7 days this month where I won’t be able to write anything so I wanted to try and get [...]

Today I managed 4083 words which puts me at a total of 5402 so far, 401 words beyond the 1,667 word a day goal. That’s about 14 pages, 12 pt ft, 1.5 spaced. Total wordcount for my novel (if you remember right, I’ve been “cheating” and using the novel I started working on in August) [...]

On the first night of NANOWRIMO I managed a stunning 1,319 words (stunning because I managed that much. I had great intentions to do more but well, Superman was on…). Yesterday I went to a really wonderful Grub Street fundraiser and got nada done on the wordcount but I met many writers, authors and readers [...]

With NANOWRIMO around the corner, I thought I would share some info on some of the tools that I use to help further my writing.
First off, in my last post I mentioned Holly Lisle’s great guides to writing fiction and building worlds, e-books that are unlike any writing book you’ll encounter in a book store, [...]

I’ve been a huge Holly Lisle fan for a long while now, not just because she writes great, engaging fiction, but because she’s also been an invaluable resource for me as a writer. Holly is someone who doesn’t just pop out a novel every few years–she is a career writer, writing every day, publishing on [...]
