We have a winner!

 
 
I did it! 50,184 words later and I’ve fulfilled my first NaNoWriMo obligation. Now I can put these characters to bed for awhile, let them plot and plan behind my back for awhile, then somewhere down the road, they’ll jump out at me, yell “Boo!” and then start babbling about all the mischief they’ve been up [...]

Book cover

NaNoWriMo.org has some cool links, one of which led me to Big Huge Labs magazine cover generator. This is what I got for my working title…

Yep, I’m still procrastinating…

Damn the wall…

The last bit of this NaNoWriMo story is killing me. My charatcers aren’t talking to me now. They were, but now all they’re giving me is drivel. I know, drivel will drive the word count up too, but, it’s just not coming. Short of cutting and pasting the phone book into my story, I’m going [...]

Entering the homestretch

So, I’m plugging along, well ahead of the 1,667 words that need to written daily in order to complete NaNoWriMo on time. But it’s not flowing as easily. It sometimes takes some kicks in the ass to get moving forward again. But it *is* happening. I’ll finish this thing and soon. Then I may ignore [...]

Awake at 4 AM: Good for creativity?

We’ll see. I really should use this time to fold some laundry, but I doubt that will happen. Why spend this unexpected consciousness doing something I hate? Nope, since I’m wearing the enormous NaNoWriMo t shirt, I’ll be getting the flsh drive out and pecking away at the keys again. Will what I write at [...]

Wait for it…

I’ve almost broken 30,000 words!
One thing I’ve discovered about myself doing this NaNo… I CANNOT stop editing. I make myself write, this is true, but I have to go back and read. I always find new little details I can add, entire scenes, events, because of the chaotic way I write. I don’t reacll if [...]

Cranking along on NaNoWriMo

It’s day 7 and I have almost 20,000 words. Maybe I’ll hit the mark early and then have time to do the editing that drives me crazy anyway. It’s very hard for me not to go back and reread already (actually too hard, ’cause I’ve done a bit *slinks away in shame*) but I’m doing [...]

Fun with banners

A little taste of my NaNoWriMo project. Fun stuff, maknig these banners!

11,000+ and counting

So, I’m writing madly and trying really, REALLY hard not to go back and edit and tweak and all the things I do instead of writing. These characters are telling me things as I go and that’s good. I found out tonight that Lily, my main character, is a bit dominant when it comes to [...]

NaNo Day 1

So, I’ve written almost 3000 words today. Can I keep it up? I certainly hope so. Will I write 50,000 words by the beginning of December? We’ll see.
The werewolf thing is coming along. Lily is a lot like Rayne so far. I may have to adjust as I go along, or after the month is [...]
