NaNoWriMo 2018 Diary | Week 5
I was this close to giving up on NaNo yesterday. I had just under six thousand words to go. No problem: I had two days, and I’ve been hitting over 3000 words/day for the past week. … and then the power went out.

The 2018 Reboot | Week 12 Check-In
Just a quick update this week, because… I kind of forgot that I was supposed to post this today, and my brain is fried from trying to meet my NaNoWriMo targets.

NaNoWriMo 2018 Diary | Week 4
That is the problem I’m having with NaNo this year, and the reason I’m thinking about maybe not doing it again next year: I’ve been writing at a pace that just isn’t sustainable for me. If I’d been able (or willing) to write every. single. day, I’d be fine, but… I can’t sustain that, either.…

The 2018 Reboot | Week 11 Check-In
I fell into a bit of a trap this week. It’s a familiar one for me, one I seem to stumble into every time I want to make a big change, whether it’s with writing, or photography, or getting organized, or (this time) setting goals. I start to think that other people have the answers,…

NaNoWriMo 2018 Diary | Week 3
So. I’m still about 4000 words below where I ‘should’ be with this story. But considering my slow start to the month, and the fact that I’ve been taking weekends off, that’s not terrible. I’ve been averaging about 2500 words a day; if I added one more short writing session every day, I could push…

The 2018 Reboot | Week 10 Check-In
I suppose it was inevitable, and I’m not at all surprised it’s happening now, when the days are getting noticeably colder and shorter, and it feels like winter – and the end of the year – is just around the corner. The doubts are starting to creep in.

NaNoWriMo 2018 Diary | Week 2
… and I’m back on track! I mean, I’m still behind the ‘official’ target for NaNo – after that one terrible day last week, I wound up taking the weekend off entirely – but the last five days have been really good. I’ve been meeting my personal goals, and today I closed out the first…

The 2018 Reboot | Week 9 Check-In
Last week was kind of a bust. I made no progress at all. But I am making up for it this week, and I feel like all of the things I’ve been working on are falling into place. I’ll get to the specifics in a minute, but in general, the last few days have been…
