NaNoWriMo Day 10 and I’m still movin’ right along. Today has been my best word count day yet! Some way, some how, the words are still falling out of my head and flowing onto the page. Frankly, I’m surprised at how fast this story is coming together. I’m up to about 19 chapters. I still … More Mini NaNoWriMo Update No. 2
Today marks the end of the first week of NaNoWriMo. If you write 1,667 words per day, which is what NaNo recommends to reach 50,000 words by November 30, then you’d be at 11,669 words today. Today, I made it HALFWAY TO 50K!!! That’s right, I hit 25,000 words tonight. TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND WORDS! And I’m … More It’s Been A Week: First Week of NaNo
Five days into NaNoWriMo and things are movin’ right along. I hit 15,000 words today and am cruising to 20,000. I’m feeling rather footloose and fancy-free! To celebrate, I took another mini puzzle break. As I mentioned before, I have banned myself from working on larger puzzles until after I hit 25,000 words.

NaNoWriMo 2023 officially began at 12:00 am November 1. And I *almost* started in a deficit. To backtrack a bit, I had intended to do Preptober. I had a spark. I wrote a post about it. I attended a handful of Leslye Penelope’s Preptober sessions early in the month (she recorded all of them, which … More And We’re Off—NaNoWriMo 2023
It’s PREPtober! That’s right. 31 26 days and counting until NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). This marks my 15th year participating in NaNoWriMo. I have won a few years (2017, 2020), but not always (2021), and some years (*cough* 2022), I barely write anything (including a blog post!). One year (2013), I even traveled to … More Preptober to NaNoWriMo
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, then you know that I participate in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) every November. Every year since 2008 (14 years)! I wrote about it here in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. And holy fish nuggets, I’m wondering where the heck this year has gone, much less … More Novel November
