Because I'm procrastinating on NaNoWriMo. I'm soooo many words behind and I need to be done on the 27th, due to convention activities being on from the 28th to the 31st of July.

I've gotten my Yuletide assignment and am looking forward to writing it and I'm having great fun writing on my NaNoWriMo story!

It's always so encouraging to read something you yourself have written and being angry with yourself when you reach the part that hasn't been written yet because you want to read the ending XD ( Read more... )

Is anyone else signing up for a cabin this April? Anyone want to share a cabin with me ( Read more... )

I'm finally done with the second draft of "How to Sway Them" (my NaNo project that refused to be just 50k). I'm pretty happy with it and am thinking about using the free prints I got with this November's NaNo to actually make a book out of it.

However, there are two issues:

1) It's written in English. I'm not a native speaker of English. Thus, I' ( Read more... )

Damn, but I've been neglecting livejournal. I almost missed the sign-up for Yuletide! Luckily, I made it just in time, aaaand I managed to sign up for NaNo as well (though I'm already behind).

The reason I've been inactive here has, for once, not been tumblr, but real life alone. University is insanely busy right now; I'm writing both my master ( Read more... )

Well, Örncon is over (short summary: it was awesome, though tons of work), I have a cold and I'm so damn behind on August NaNo it's ridiculous! As of this moment, I have 8 878 words. I should be at 25k ;_;

But shame on those who give up! (Swedish saying). Yesterday I only had 2k, so I'm keeping good pace. If I only can keep this up unril Monday, ( Read more... )

Well, the first draft anyways. I've been reading it to my sister and she seems to like it. Caught a few typos and odd sentences, so my poor sister has to put up with a lot of pauses for editing. I'm enjoying the story too, which I'm very pleased about. It would have been horrible if I didn't, with so much work put into it.

Sorry for spamming all the ( Read more... )

Today's questions:

If you’ve participated in or won NaNo before, what happened to your other novel efforts? Still in the revision process/querying publishers/scrapped it immediately/etc.

I participated last November and wrote the novel I'm still writing. I won in November, but the story was far from done. It's currently at about 100k+ words and there ( Read more... )

Today's questions:

Which authors or books have inspired your own writing the most, and why?

Uhm, all of them? I honestly don't think I've ever ready a story that I haven't learned something from, when it comes to my own writing. This goes for books that I've liked and those I've disliked equally.

If you could meet one fictional character from any book ( Read more... )
