Many, many moons ago, I considered myself a poet. I wrote poetry, kept a poetry journal, submitted my poems to poetry competitions and publications, and I even attended poetry festivals and workshops. Somewhere along the way, about the time I started law school, I had stopped writing poetry. I have continued to read and enjoy … More Celebrating Poetry
Hello! It’s been a hot minute since my last post. You might have thought I wandered right off the page. Surprise! I’m still here. So what’s been happening?
It’s November 30 and we have crossed the official NaNoWriMo 2023 finish line! Huzzah! 30 days of writing. And I am a winner! (And yes, I bought the tee because I earned it!) Nearly 77,000 words in 30 days. I have a complete manuscript (albeit a rough draft that still needs work) that right now … More Crossing the Finish Line: NaNoWriMo Day 30

21 days in and I’m still writing! Is anyone else amazed how fast this month, or rather this year has flown by?

For the next 9 days, I’m still laser focused on NaNoWriMo … More Still Writing: Mini NaNoWriMo Update

Then this week, my word counts dropped off a bit. I also posted that I had a few more scenes … More NaNoWriMo Update No. 3
We’re 2 weeks into NaNoWriMo! I just unlocked the “14” badge for updating my word could 14 days in a row. (See my daily word counts here.) Tomorrow marks the NaNo half-way point. Huzzah! As I mentioned in my Winner post, although I already hit 50,000 words, my story isn’t quite finished. I still need … More NaNoWriMo Update: Two Weeks Down!
