Okay, well, here's the thing.  After a month of suffering from a nasty cold, dealing with a lack of free time along with a sudden and debilitating right arm injury, I limped along through most of November and didn't do much writing at all until I went to The Night Of Writing Dangerously mid-month and then tried to build on that as time and ( Read more... )

 Just wanted to document where I'm currently at with the word count for NaNoWriMo.  It's hard to believe that 12k of this has been completed in the last twenty four hours.  I wanted to get all the way to 40k by tonight, but I kept slowing down and nodding off while trying to write, so I think that definitely effected my totals ( Read more... )

I had a hard time writing yesterday and didn't really get anything going until I was trying (in vain) to go to sleep and was writing just because I was up. Fortunately I was able to tap into a subplot I've been mulling over and things just took off after that ( Read more... )

I'm doing my first NaNoWriMo and I'm feeling pretty okay about it all, despite the lingering symptoms from the Cold that Ate My Brain. I'm doing a romance novel, because why the hell not, and I think things got off to a good start. It's 10:30pm and I'm thinking about trying to write a little more so that I can hit the target word count of 1,667 ( Read more... )
