(I started this last night, then ran out of time! Expect a Yuletide post and a general end of year post soon.)

In 2015, I completed my Get Your Words Out pledge for 150,000 words. On December 24, I hit 150,092 words and decided to give my brain a much-needed break after NaNo and Yuletide.

( Month-by-month word count totals. )

Yuletide Assignment: <5000 words, posted
Treat #1: <7000 words, needs editing
Treat #2: <4000 words, in progress
Treat #3: <3500 words, in progress ( Read more... )

Hello, friends! It's NaNoWriMo! I'm working on an original novella and ALL THE YULETIDE. I finished my Secret Mutant assignment rough draft in late October, but it needs hella editing. Posting my WIP word counts here to encourage me to get today's writing done ( Read more... )

I keep thinking it's Thursday, hence the lack of a What I'm Reading Wednesday post. Instead, you get the "how am I doing" meme I've seen everywhere!

So what have you been up to?As a teacher in the month of September, I've been quite busy. *G* Aside from teaching, beginning of year screenings, and lesson planning, I've been feeling out how to cook ( Read more... )

This is me, testing how long I can listen to this song on YouTube before I buy it off iTunes. I exist only to feed this earworm. Also to do this writing meme I stole from

The time of REMIX is upon us! Hail Remix! I'm going to take ficlet prompts even in big fandoms I already qualify for, just to give my potential remixer something new. I have a crapton of work to do and awesome prompts will motivate me to finish!

Fandoms, alphabetically: Agent Carter, Brooklyn 99, Glee, Les Miserables, Marvel Cinematic Universe ( ( Read more... )

After endless musing on my WIPs in previous posts, I have done... not very much writing. *G* In my defense, that's because it's midyear testing season at school. I dislike testing, but I LOVE reorganizing my reading groups and planning literacy instruction. So many reading fluency activities are in my kids' future ( Read more... )

My current status is "getting buried by a blizzard," so I would love to write you all some ficlets in between lesson planning and grading homework. Meme text stolen from pocky_slash, 'cause I'm lazy.

So we play like this ( Read more... )

I am massively behind on the December posting meme, but first, a post about NaNo! I did write 50k in a month. It took 29 days, not 30, and it's the first time I've ever won NaNo. (The last time I tried, I got as far as making an account on the website. Um. Not stellar, self.)

As I sat here home from school and staring out at weather better suited for February, it occurred to me that I haven't updated this dusty old blog in a month. I am lurching my way through my first year at New Job as well as a class for an additional endorsement on my teaching license.
