NaNo Retrospective
After thirty days of furious writing and literary abandon, NaNoWriMo 2012 is over. Thank god. My final word count was 271,172 words, which is more than I thought that I would get going into the month, but less than some … Continue reading
NaNo Milestones
Yesterday, I passed two NaNo milestones that I thought were worth mentioning here. First, I surpassed last year’s total word count of 241,142 words. This year has been miles better than last year, at least as far as writing goes. … Continue reading
Week 3 Review
Week 3 (the first of two of them the way that I am counting weeks) is never a good one for me. Really, it’s after that third weekend that NaNo feels like an uphill slog through the mud and whatever … Continue reading
NaNo Novel 1
…is done! It doesn’t have the ending that I thought it would, to be honest. It caught me by surprise until I was right upon it and realized how things needed to stop. Where I stop recasts the focus, hopefully … Continue reading
On Overachievers
There is a debate right now (and it is friendly and well-intentioned, so debate is the right word) about what the group of people who plan to write more than 50k during NaNoWriMo are supposed to call themselves. The term … Continue reading
NaNo Week 1 Review
For me, NaNo Week 1 ended on Sunday night, as the clock ticked from 11:59 to 12:00, but I’ve been a bit too busy writing other things to actually come write here. So far, I am on pace for my … Continue reading
50kKillMeNow
For the past two years, I have written all 50,000 words required to win NaNoWriMo on the first day, usually taking almost the entirety of the first twenty four hours. The first time that I did it, it was to … Continue reading
On Why I Do NaNoWriMo
“Knitters don’t knit because their friends need more hats. But so far, there hasn’t been a “Better yet, DON’T knit that scarf” manifesto.” Knitters gonna knit, and writers gonna write. Every year, right around this time when I’m running around … Continue reading
NaNo planning!
Or mostly a lack thereof. I meant to prepare more this year, and still do have time to do so, but I’m not sure that it will happen, and it’s got me kind of worried. I’m a pantser at heart, … Continue reading
NaNo is Coming
It’s now October, and you know what that means: Calling me unprepared right now is an understatement. I’m extremely busy, have ML stuff to do, and have to plan two novels in the next 30 days (well, “plan” – I have … Continue reading
