CANCELLED--A September Writing Challenge
Hi group, just passing this along...I participated in this challenge last year and actually made the short list (although not the final list). It was pretty fun and exciting--write up to 15k words of coherent storytelling in just a week! The Zombie Pirate Publishing group is really friendly and encouraging ( Read more... ) -
Some writing resources
Hello fellow scribblers, I wanted to share some resources of late that I have found very helpful in my writing.
Word Frequency macro--if you're curious how many times all the words in your Word doc appear, this bit of code is for you! It's helpful for spotting passive voice and can help you exercise your word power.

In the grip of nostalgia
First of the month means monthly back ups. I decided to dig around and try to find my first NaNoWriMo entry which was apparently from 2005.

Good luck!
Just want to wish anyone reading this good luck with NaNoWriMo this year! -

Yay!
30 days and 50,410 words later...I would have finished earlier last week but my motivation was just zapped! I was only doing 600 or 700 words a day and made a big push on the weekend. I loved the little winner video at the end :-)

How's it going?
I hope this post is allowed. I thought there would be more chatty posts :D
I feel good about my daily word count ten days in. I find it difficult to get the time in but I am tapping away on my phone at every opportunity. I am just enjoying writing for the sake of it too. One of my art teachers used to say one was always having a conversation with ( Read more... ) -
Jumping back in again
Well, it's been many the long year since I've had the opportunity to participate once more in NaNoWriMo. At least this year I don't have the Haunted House to get me sick midway in. :) Yay ( Read more... )
